  • Skretting has committed to volume from Protix that could see up to 5.5 million servings of salmon brought to market per year containing insect meal
  • A 30 million tonne projected increase in aquaculture production in the near future means there will be a need for an additional 45 million tonnes of raw materials 
  • Commercial production of insect meal can help to meet this demand in a sustainable way, contributing to a circular bioeconomy
