“Raising black soldier flies to sell eggs brings a stable income for the family. Every day, I sell more than 100 grams of fly eggs to local people and all over the provinces, earning 1 million VND / day, at one point, the black soldier fly eggs cost as high as 3 million VND / 100 grams of fly eggs ”
Mr. Trang Van Mang, living in Truong Luu hamlet, Truong Dong commune, Hoa Thanh town, Tay Ninh province - who successfully implemented the model of raising black soldier flies.

With simple and cost-effective breeding techniques, BSF has many benefits to the environment, ensuring safety for livestock and human health.

Grasping these advantages, Mr. Trang Van Mang, living in Truong Luu hamlet, Truong Dong commune, Hoa Thanh town, has successfully implemented the model of raising black soldier flies, bringing high economic efficiency, meeting market demand. school.

In early 2019, Mr. Mang approached the black soldier fly farming model through online news. Then, he ordered 50g black soldier fly eggs for 500,000 VND for testing. After a period of research and care, he mastered the farming process and techniques.

The life cycle of BSF lasts about 1 month, starting with eggs, larvae, pupae, eventually molting into flies. Taking care of this species of flies is not too complicated, its food is very diverse, it is possible to take advantage of agricultural by-products such as carcasses, spoiled vegetables and fruits, organic wastes ...

Food source is simple, easy to find, but it is always necessary to ensure effective farming. On average, BS eggs are incubated for 5 days, taking about half a month to molt into adults. Adults begin to lay eggs (without food) live 12-15 days and then die.
Model black soldier fly farming brings high economic efficiency.

Leading us to visit the black soldier fly breeding area, Mr. Mang said, the barn was designed to be relatively airy but still ensured enough humidity for the black soldier fly to grow and develop well.

The cage is divided into many separate cells to incubate the eggs and raise the larvae and pupae. Adult flies will be kept separately in a garden corner, surrounded by a net. There is a arrangement of thin wooden bars tied together with elastic bands for flies to lay eggs because this species often lays in the gap, so it should be similar to natural practices.

"Black soldier flies do not have a hose, do not sting and suck on fruit and do not attach to food like other flies, so they are quite safe and protect the environment because of their high speed of handling organic waste, no water generation." waste or bad smell, reducing pathogens. It is also a source of nutritious food for chickens, ducks, birds, fish, termites ..., helping the animals to be healthy and grow fast, ”said Mang Mang.
Black soldier flies are a rich source of food for poultry.

The raising of black soldier flies does not take much effort, which can be combined with other breeding models such as raising chickens, ducks, fish ... to bring high economic efficiency, save the cost of buying food. With outstanding advantages, the black soldier fly is popular with many people, the market price is quite high, depending on the time. Currently, black soldier fly eggs cost 10 million VND / kg, fly larvae fluctuate about 30,000 VND / kg.

Mr. Mang added, “Raising black soldier flies to sell eggs brings a stable income for the family. Every day, I sell more than 100 grams of fly eggs to local people and all over the provinces, earning 1 million VND / day, at one point, black soldier fly eggs cost as high as 3 million VND / 100 grams of fly eggs.

Demand for black soldier fly eggs is increasing, sometimes not enough for sale. In the near future, Mr. Mang's family plans to expand the scale and build 3 more breeding facilities. Along with maintaining available stores, he is looking for and linking with other households to expand his model and develop his economy.

With the outstanding advantages of waste treatment features and effective food sources in breeding, the black soldier flies are paid much attention, invested in economic development, and have favorable outputs. It is hoped that the model will increasingly develop sustainably, contributing to enriching the family, creating environmentally friendly products, ensuring human health.
