On November 12, 2025, the First China International Mealworm Industry Conference was successfully held in Beijing, marking a significant milestone for the global mealworm and insect protein industry. With the core theme "Building a Global Industry Chain: From Incubation to Application", this event gathered leading mealworm enterprises, scientific research institutions, global buyers, and industrial elites from China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Together, they promoted the standardization, internationalization, and sustainable development of the global mealworm industry.

Why This Conference Matters for the Global Mealworm Industry

As the world’s first international B2B event focused on the full mealworm industrial chain, the conference addressed core industry challenges and growth opportunities:
  • Mealworm large-scale farming technology: High-yield, stable, and standardized breeding solutions
  • Advanced mealworm processing: Dried mealworm, protein powder, oil, defatted protein powder, and other high-value products
  • Mealworm application scenarios: Pet food, aquaculture feed, livestock breeding, human nutrition, and environmental degradation
  • Mealworm export and trade: Global supply chain optimization, market access standards, and international trade rules
  • Sustainable insect protein: Mealworm as a highly efficient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional protein sources
Industry experts confirmed that China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of mealworms, accounting for more than 70% of global production and supply, making it the core pillar of the global mealworm supply chain.

Mealworm: The Future of Sustainable Protein from Farm to Global Market

Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is the most commercially mature insect protein source, with a full industrial chain value covering various sectors:
  • Upstream farming: China’s mature large-scale breeding system ensures a stable year-round supply of live and dried mealworms.
  • Midstream processing: From basic dried mealworms to high-value protein powder and oil, meeting customized demands for pet food and aquaculture feed.
  • Downstream application: Mealworm protein provides efficient nutrition for pet food, aquaculture, and livestock feed while reducing carbon emissions.
The conference promoted the global mealworm industry’s transformation from fragmented and regional production to standardized and internationalized supply, enabling seamless connections between Chinese manufacturers and global buyers.
