Community-Based BSFL Breeding Centres

MAMAH and partners, with technical support from Bobo Eco Farm have established satellite insect breeding sites so as to enable sustainable access for our farmers to BSFL eggs/hatchlings. Prior to COVID-19 farmers were receiving eggs/hatchlings from Bobo Eco Farm who would transport it to our farmers for further rearing to feed their poultry. COVID-19 lockdown disrupted the supply chain, as such we decided to establish community-based breeding centres so as to ensure continuity even in situations such as nationwide lockdowns.

Below is a BSFL breeding centre in Rusese village, Nkanja sub-county, Kyegegwa district. It is run by farmers.
