CP Foods and Thai university partner to develop insect proteins


Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods) and Chiang Mai University have signed a memorandum of under- standing (MoU) to develop insect pro- teins. The agreement aims to commer- cialise insect-based protein as a sustainable alternative food source for both animals and humans. Under this MoU, CP Foods will fund the project and jointly develop the first black sol- dier fly smart farm in Thailand. This pi- lot farm will also be a learning centre for students, farmers and the commu- nity. “Chiang Mai University and CP Foods have the same goal, which is to explore the new products for driving the Thai agriculture sector towards


sustainable growth, using a BCG econ- omy model as an outline. This research will not only benefit both organisa- tions, but also farmers across the country, who can generate extra in- come from this new economic insect,” said Dr Yuthana Phimolsiripol, of Chiang Mai University. Dr Pairat Srichana, senior VP of CP Foods, noted that the company has been working on alternative protein sources, be it plant-based protein, cell-based pro- tein or insect-based protein, in re- sponse to the new sustainable food trend and building food security. The company, he said, has a keen interest in the insect sector.
