Cameroun - Projet de création d'entreprise

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

POME refers to Palm Oil Mill Effluent, commonly called palm oil sludge. Meanwhile. BSF stands for Black Soldier Flies. This business idea seek to utilise POME for growing BSF larvae as feed for the livestock industry.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

This projects seek to render solution to the increasing demand for protein source in livestock diets. It exploits the POME wast of palm oil industry for the breading and production of BSF larvae, which is very rich in protein content. Due to food-feed competition, feed constituents that are suitable for livestock consumption such as soybean and fish meal are expensive and collectively increase the costs of feed. In addition, global catches from the marine fish stocks have dwindled over the years due to over exploitation. This increases the price of fishmeal, which is not only used in feeding livestock but also competing with humans. Moreover, the intensification of soybean production, especially in the tropics, resulted in land grabbing and deforestation in addition to other negative social and environmental consequences. For these reasons, there is an urgent need to replace conventional feed ingredients with a more sustainable and less cost effective one.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

This business idea solves problems both in the palm oil industry and the livestock industry. In the Palm oil industry, it eradicates a global waste which is a major pollutant and emitter of green house gas (methane and carbon dioxide). It equally solves the odour emmition problem witness by surrounding communities where these oil mills releases their waste. Where this palm oil mills are situated along streams or water ways, the entire aquatic environment is greatly altered. In the livestock sector, it solves the high pressure emancipated on existing protein sources, which are also in great competition with human. These two major protein sources being fishmeal and soya beans, are very costly and turn to create further environmental problems when embarking on large scale production. For instance, large scale supply of fish meal result in overexploitation and extinction of some fish species while extensive soya beans farming promote deforestation. Increase feed costs emanate from this.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

The BSF larvae has the ability in growing and doing well in agricultural waste. These larvae requires less space as comparebto soya beans. Infact, half hectare of land utilise for this larvae production will yield more than enough protein that can be generated by 10 hectare of soya beans farming. Secondly, the duration for this larvae to get ready and be use as a protein source is very short as compel to soya beans and fish meal. The BSF larvae production process can easily be learnt and practice by any life stock farmer regardless of their levels education. It can be done even without consuming all of ones time and attention Again this larvae are produced at very little or no cost, making it able to beat out other protein sources and reduces the high cost of livestock diets.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

1) The livestock farmers ranging from those involved in # poultry farming, # fish farming # piggery etc 2) It will equally serve the palm oil mill industries, as this will provide lasting solutions to the current environmental challenge they are faced with.

02.06.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Eau Propre et Assainissement'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.06.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

This projects seeks to eradicates POME from the environment by turning this agricultural waste into greater use. It should be noted that most recent oil mills are located along streams or water ways where they empty this waste. However, Palm oil plantations lead to sedimentation and agricultural runoff into streams and rivers. Such high nutrient inputs could lead to eutrophication, bioaccumulation, and toxic blooms, which could lead to changes in aquatic ecosystems as well as drinking water quality for surrounding communities. The eradication of this POME will therefore help greatly in providing clean water and sanitation. Secondly the bi-product obtained after producing the BSF larvae is purely a rich fine natural fertiliser call frass, which has no chemical content nor is it toxic to land.

02.07.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Énergie Propre et Abordable'

02.07.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

The production of BSF larvae requires no combosion or utilisation of engines or machines that release green house gases. This rather involved a more simple and direct feeding without any multi-complex procedures. In agro-scale operation automatic feeders deploying hydro electric power is much effective as it will generate zero emissions

02.09.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Industrie, Innovaiton et Infrastructure'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.09.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

The entire process of producing larvae from insects has been a major interest in the world in recent time. Current and existing producers are facing challenges in operating at large scale due to insignificant amounts of the various substrates they utilise. The POME is therefore an entirely new innovation that will give room for industrial expansion and infrastructural development. Alot of innovation and Ideas will be born out once the POME is utilise

02.10.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Réduction des Inégalités'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.10.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

This projects reduces inequalities especially as there is huge dependent on import of fishmeal and soya beans. Moreso soya beans is climatic selective and does well only in setting areas whereas BSF larvae can grow vastly in different geographical region creating regional balance. Thesame is true for fish meal which required skillful and high capital equipment thus only produces by countries that can afford to sponsor this sector, moreso, Landlock countries have little or insignificant inland water to effectively extract fishmeal. This therefore makes this country entirely dependent on coastal nations as a major source of fishmeal supply. But this limitations are entirely wipe out by BSF larvae production

02.11.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Villes et Communautés Durables'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.11.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

This project has no environmental effect, does not interfere with any local or global values, custom, laws, etc. it is aimed solving existing global problems and therefore will be wholeheartedly embrace as the POME regarded as a major pollutant becames a major feed in the insect industry thereby keeping the cities/ communities free from pollution.

02.12.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Consommation et Production Responsable'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.12.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Firstly, it is of great interest that the BSF larvae is not a carrier of disease or any pathogen. This makes it a suitable insect to utilise in obtaining protein for livestock industry which latter satisfy humans protein needs. Again this insects provides a continuous supply meeting the high demand for protein in livestock diets

02.13.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Luttle contre les Changements Climatiques'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.13.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

BSF larvae solves the problem created by POME on the global climate. The process of producing this BSF Larvae itself produces no bi-product that generate any green house gas nor does it required large deforested area for it operation

02.14.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

This projects seeks to eradicates POME from the environment by turning this agricultural waste into greater use. It should be noted that most recent oil mills are located along streams or water ways where they empty this waste. However, Palm oil plantations lead to sedimentation and agricultural runoff into streams and rivers. Such high nutrient inputs could lead to eutrophication, bioaccumulation, and toxic blooms, which could lead to changes in aquatic ecosystems as well as drinking water quality for surrounding communities. The eradication of this POME will therefore help greatly in providing clean water and sanitation, again the sole bi-product obtained from this insect farming is pure frass, which is a natural and Zero toxic fertilizer not harmful when expose to water bodies

02.15.01 Mon projetp contribue à l'objectif 'Vie Terrestre'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.15.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Palm oil sludge or POME is one of the bi-products from the processing of oil palm fruits and they are discharged as wastes to arable land. This has been a continuous exercise among many palm oil processing industries over the years. However, POME is a pollutant to the environment due to the offensive odour or as a contaminant resulting from the volumes it discharges to the environment. This often damages the soil and retard plant growth. One of the purpose of this business idea is to eradicate this problem by obtaining this agro waste without it being exposed to the environment. Moreso, after this POME is consume by BSF larvae the bi- Product of this larvae are a resultant rich fine waste material called Frass, used as fertiliser. This frass is an excellent, powerful natural fertiliser that add more value to soil

05.08 Justification de mon projet

There has been an open eye world wide on the importance of insects farming as major protein source, but this has met with a huge challenges of determining a huge amount of readily available substrate to breed BSF larvae on. Most of which make use of restaurant waste, chicken droplets, pig dump etc, whose quantity is insufficient and can't be used to meet global supply of protein. This work seek to eradicate this problem by utilising waste from the palm oil industry (POME). Moreso, utilising this substrate(POME) gives room even for global scale production there by solving the problem put in place by other sources of protein.

05.09 Qui sont vos principaux potentiels concurrents et qu'est-ce qui vous différencie d'eux ?

My main potential competitors are soya beans farmers and fish meal farmers. However, the cost effectiveness in producing BSF larvae gives me an upper hand to beat them out of the market. Secondly the production time for BSF is very short compared to soya beans and fish meal that takes several months. Again little or no capital equipment are use in the production process of these larvae whereas advance and expensive farming machinery are employed by my competitors, making their protein sources expensive
