Mukka Proteins Limited (MPL) has announced the completion of a strategic acquisition of a majority stake (51%) in FABBCO Bio Cycle and Bio Protein Technology Private Limited (FABBCO) for approximately ₹6 crore. The deal, finalized on September 2, 2025, marks a significant step in Mukka’s commitment to building a sustainable alternative protein portfolio.
With this acquisition, Mukka Proteins has integrated FABBCO’s innovative waste-to-protein technology, which uses the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae method to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost and high-quality protein for animal feed. The company said this closed-loop model addresses major environmental challenges while creating scalable business opportunities.
The new 300 tons per day facility in Bengaluru, developed under a contract with Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), has already been operationalized, while FABBCO’s established 100 TPD waste management unit in Kochi provides additional technical and operational expertise. Together with its subsidiary Ento Proteins, MPL now operates close to 500 tons per day of BSF-based waste management capacity across India.
Commenting on the development, K Mohammed Haris, Managing Director & CEO of Mukka Proteins, said the acquisition reinforces the company’s long-term strategy. “By advancing insect protein as an alternative feed ingredient, we are actively reducing reliance on marine-based feed and contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This initiative reflects circular economy principles by transforming waste into valuable agricultural inputs.”
The acquisition also strengthens MPL’s ESG profile by cutting methane emissions from landfill diversion, while reducing supply chain risks tied to marine-based feed ingredients. The company believes this step positions it as a leader in the sustainable feed sector with a diversified portfolio ranging from fish meal to insect-based protein.
