Nutrifarm Rwanda Cricket Farming LTD

Nutrifarm Rwanda Cricket Farming Ltd produces sustainable, protein-rich food products from farmed crickets to combat malnutrition and enhance food security in Rwanda. We transform crickets into nutrient-dense flours and snacks targeting vulnerable groups, especially infants, pregnant women, and low-income households.

Why it matters: Rwanda faces a 38% rate of chronic malnutrition among children under five. Traditional protein sources are costly and environmentally unsustainable. Crickets offer a low-cost, high-protein, climate-resilient alternative.

Why we have potential:

Market need: Growing demand for affordable, nutritious foods to fight malnutrition.

Scalability: Cricket farming is low-cost, scalable, and suitable for Rwanda’s rural and urban areas.

Support & traction: We’ve received $55,000 in funding, partnered with ACTS and NCST, and are running a CAD 1.5 million pilot to reach 10,000 beneficiaries.

Sustainability: Low water, land, and feed requirements ma
