Annual output of 7,500 tons of three kinds of edible insects in Thailand

Thailand has accumulated a great deal of experience in breeding edible insects in the past 15 years. According to a report in Thailand’s “National” on the 22nd, Umra, an entomologist at Khon Kaen University in Thailand, said: “The world will suffer food crisis, but Thai people will survive because we know how to eat insects.”

In the past 15 years, Thailand has been particularly successful in the breeding of three edible insects such as cockroaches, weevil and bamboo worms. Their annual output reaches 7,500 tons. There has been a history of insects becoming part of the Thai diet, and food and agriculture organizations now hope it can become another source of human access to proteins.

Recently, a report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) showed that edible insects called "six legged domestic animals" will have a 60% increase in production by 2050.

Compared to other meats such as beef, insects have 6 times the conversion rate of their consumption. At the same time, eating insects is more environmentally friendly. Because raising insects requires less land and water, less greenhouse gases are released. In Asia and Europe, insects have increasingly become an integral part of people's food.
