Agronutris runs a production facility in the Ardennes dedicated to breeding black soldier flies (mouches soldat noir). After facing severe financial pressure, the company’s director Cédric Auriol now claims it has "come out of the crisis" following a recent capital injection. Agronutris had previously secured a €100 million financing round in 2021 but subsequently struggled, prompting a rescue by a sector rival. The new partner, La Compagnie des insectes, has stepped in as majority shareholder, providing fresh resources and opening new commercial outlets for Agronutris’ products. Approximately €10 million of new funds have been committed to stabilise operations and ensure the continuity of the Ardennes plant. Despite this lifeline, the article notes that Agronutris’ parent company is expected to be liquidated. Management hopes the new ownership structure will give the business a fresh start and long-term viability.
