Nutrition Technologies (“NT”) researches, manufactures and supplies sustainable agricultural inputs (animal feed ingredients, biofertilisers and biological agents). NT uses its unique proprietary biotechnology and Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) rearing process to recycle nutrients from agricultural and food processing by-products. Their insect-based products help feed the growing agriculture and feed industries around the world. These products are suitable for application in pet food, livestock and aquatic feed, and have a range of proven functional benefits which improve yield and quality.

NT's technology uses ​a combination of beneficial microbes and Black Soldier Fly Larvae through a zero-waste production model. Their insects are reared on fully clean and traceable agro-industrial waste streams. They have developed their own tropical business model which is not only low cost to build and operate, but also uses minimal energy and resources. This means that the company benefits from a very low cost of production, but with the same high standards as any European or North American manufacturers, and is able to pass-on those savings to the customer. The company currently ships industrial volumes of material throughout Asia, EU, US & South America, from their facilities in Malaysia.

Since starting the company in 2015 in Vietnam, the company has expanded and grown and now has their main production plant, laboratory and office at multiple sites in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with supporting labs and offices in Vietnam and Singapore.

Nutrition Technologies have developed research partnerships with key institutions throughout the region to develop their products and are conducting several feed trials on key consumer species. In their latest funding round in September 2022, their venture round raised US$20m, and secured investments from Bunge, PTT, Sumitomo, INGSI, Mandala Capital, Hera Capital and Openspace Ventures.
