Agriprotein

AgriProtein was a South African industrial insect-farming company, founded in Cape Town in 2008, that pioneered commercial black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) bioconversion: it fed organic waste from food factories, supermarkets, farms and restaurants to fly larvae and processed the result into MagMeal insect protein for aquaculture, poultry and pet food, MagOil, and MagSoil soil conditioner. It opened the world's first full-scale BSF facility in Philippi, Cape Town in 2014 and raised USD 105 million in 2018 to build out a global factory network. Its UK parent, Insect Technology Group, entered administration in February 2021 and the group's assets, intellectual property and plant were sold in June 2021. The company is defunct; it published no developer program, API, or machine-readable specification, and the agriprotein.com domain has since lapsed to an unrelated operator.

Agriprotein is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, Animal Feed, Insect Protein, and Sustainability.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/agriprotein: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
