Everything you need to know about Insectius franchises
The franchise includes a turnkey modular farm with all necessary equipment, complete training in breeding and production, management software, continuous technical support, market access, and regulatory advice. Additionally, we offer a container buyback option of up to 70% of the price depending on their condition.
A basic farm requires approximately 300m², access to drinking water, and three-phase electrical supply. We help you evaluate the viability of your location.
We guarantee the purchase of 100% of dehydrated larvae production. Regarding frass (organic fertilizer), due to transport costs, we recommend direct sale to local farmers near your production center.
If we get customers near you, we will direct them to you because you have zone exclusivity, so everything that comes to us in your area will be directed to you. However, we do not commit to finding buyers for you. Frass is something you should have a plan to sell to people near you.
Profitability will depend on several factors such as farm size, number of containers, and the operational efficiency of workers. We provide tools and calculators where you can enter your specific data to obtain a personalized estimate of the potential profitability for your particular case.
We provide continuous technical support, remote monitoring, incident resolution, and regular updates of production protocols.
The complete process usually takes between 3 and 6 months, including contract signing, container installation, team training, and start of production.
No prior experience in the sector is necessary. We provide complete training and continuous support to ensure the success of your operation.
We guide and advise you throughout the entire process of obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, but you will be responsible for processing them. We will provide you with all the documentation and knowledge necessary about the European and Spanish regulatory framework for insect production.
We are looking for entrepreneurs to expand our network of sustainable farms
