About us
The Business
The business model revolves around organic catfish farming, leveraging innovative techniques to minimize feed costs. Our approach integrates Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) technology, aquaponics, and horticulture to achieve efficient nutrient use and waste valorization promoting circularity. The catfish we produce serve multiple markets, including intermediate human food, pet food, and animal feed industries. Our processing methods yield a variety of semi-processed products, including fillet crumbs, spirals, and fortified bones. Additionally, we promote efficiency and support cross-sectoral productivities by generating frass as agricultural organic fertilizer, chicken feed derived from fish waste, and horticultural products from nutrient rich aquaculture wastewater in the aquaponic loop.This diverse strategy, based in Kenya, is designed to strengthen both local and global economies. By promoting environmental sustainability, creating jobs, providing nutritious food, and stimulating economic growth, Soofilts Limited aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Market
The business targets diverse markets for its products, catering to various sectors and needs. The growing global pet and animal food industries need sustainable fishmeal and fish oil components in food formulation, providing an enormous market of soofilts intermediate products. Aquaponics-based aquaculture is currently considered of high value and free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers for retail and wholesale. This variety strengthens market presence, lowers single-market reliance, and boosts resilience and profitability.
Collaboration and Partnerships
We have innovated catfish fillet crumbs and spirals to meet the needs of humans, pets and livestock food processors. Our market research highlights a growing demand for premium, organic, and sustainable food products among consumers. We are tailoring our products to meet local and global preferences, engaging with potential clients and distributors for specific needs. We are open-mindedly inviting collaborations and partnerships from local and global food processors to support this better course. They form the best distribution channel in ensuring that the whole world enjoys the healthy protein option from every single bite of a burger, a snack or a sauce. Together, we can substitute unsustainable and unhealthy bites that offer lead to unbearable diseases, with our Soofilts option. Let’s all contribute to healthy and sustainable eating!
