In recent years, the yellow mealworm has undergone a significant transformation, from a global pest species to a prominent insect species for feed and food purposes. However, farming mealworms is still a relatively new business venture, offering ample opportunities for optimization and innovation. The mealworm value chain is in its infancy, resulting mostly in start-ups needing to manage various aspects of their farm, including their mealworm colony: feeding, reproduction, and harvesting. Additionally, they must manage logistics such as feed supply, sales, and product transportation. Furthermore, it is common that live insects undergo some level of processing, such as blanching and freezing, before being sold.

摘要

In recent years, the yellow mealworm has undergone a significant transformation, from a global pest species to a prominent insect species for feed and food purposes. However, farming mealworms is still a relatively new business venture, offering ample opportunities for optimization and innovation. The mealworm value chain is in its infancy, resulting mostly in start-ups needing to manage various aspects of their farm, including their mealworm colony: feeding, reproduction, and harvesting. Additionally, they must manage logistics such as feed supply, sales, and product transportation. Furthermore, it is common that live insects undergo some level of processing, such as blanching and freezing, before being sold.
