Agroloop of Hungary has selected Buhler of Switzerland to supply equipment for a plant to produce insect protein.  The facility will be erected in Ullo, Hungary and will produce four thousand metric tons of protein concentrate derived from propagation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larva. Agroloop has operated a pilot facility since 2017.

Istvan Nagy, co-founder and CEO of Agroloop stated, “the abundance of food processing and production presents a unique opportunity for the Agroloop multi-plant roll-out strategy for the central and eastern European region”.
