DESCRIPTION
Hlavným cieľom predkladaného realizačného projektu je rozšírenie výrobného portfólia kenskej spoločnosti InsectiPro , ltd. , vlastnenou ženami, o nový, pre jeho environmentálne a nutričné benefity uznávaný, druh jedlého hmyzu Múčiara obyčajného (Tenebrio molitor). Žiadateľ Scientica, s.r.o. v rámci plnenia aktivít projektu zaškolí výrobný personál priamo na mieste realizácie projektu, ako aj v rámci recipročnej návštevy vo vlastnej modernej prevádzke na Slovensku. Taktiež poskytne prototypy spojené s čiastočnou automatizáciou technológie chovu a spracovaním biomasy, čo umožní výrazne vyššie zapojenie žien do výrobného procesu v porovnaní s obdobnými hmyzími farmami v regióne. Výsledkom realizácie bude chovné zariadenie múčnych červov, schopné zabezpečiť dôstojnú prácu najmenej 15 ľudom a s možnou výrobnou kapacitou až 30 ton biomasy mesačne. Aktivity sú formované tak, aby zariadenie popri vlastnej produkcii slúžilo aj ako materská kolónia a školiace pre ďalších potencionálnych farmárov v regióne. Záverečná aktivita predstavujúca demonštračný dovoz a vývoz konečných produktov masového chovu jedlého hmyzu výrazne posilní obchodné partnerstvo medzi oboma spoločnosťami. Táto synergia dokáže byť z dlhodobého hľadiska udržateľná a to vďaka naplneniu špecifických potrieb oboch spoločností - možnosť kenského partnera rozšíriť výrobného portfólio o nový druh hmyzu, ako aj doplnenie produkčných kapacít žiadateľa zo Slovenska.
The main goal of the presented implementation project is to expand the production portfolio of the Kenyan company InsectiPro, ltd. , owned by women, for a new edible insect species Tenebrio molitor, recognized for its environmental and nutritional benefits. Applicant Scientica, s.r.o. as a part of the implementation of the project's activities, will train the production staff directly at the site of the project's implementation, as well as within the framework of a reciprocal visit to its own modern operation in Slovakia. It will also provide prototypes associated with partial automation of breeding technology and biomass processing, which will enable significantly higher involvement of women in the production process compared to similar insect farms in the region. The result of the implementation will be a breeding facility for mealworms, capable of providing decent work for at least 15 people and with a possible production capacity of up to 30 tons of biomass per month. The activities are designed in a way that, in addition to its own production, the facility also serves as a mother colony and training for other potential farmers in the region. The final activity representing the demonstration import and export of the final products of the mass breeding of edible insects will significantly strengthen the business partnership between the two companies. This synergy can be sustainable in the long term thanks to the fulfillment of the specific needs of both companies - the possibility of the Kenyan partner to expand the production portfolio with a new type of insect, as well as the addition of the production capacities of the applicant from Slovakia.
