12 M’sian startups shaping the future of food & agriculture that we spotted at this F&B expo

Recently, the first-ever Food & Drinks Malaysia, an international F&B exhibition and trade show by SIAL Group was held in MITEC, Kuala Lumpur.

SIAL stands for Salon International de l’Alimentation and means the Global Food Marketplace. A well-known trade fair that specializes in the food processing industry, it has now come to Malaysia through this exhibition hosted by the Comexposium Group.

From July 4 to 6, 2023, the trade show brought in around 450 exhibitors from over 22 countries and claimed to have welcomed over 150,000 visitors.

A homegrown biotech startup, Entomal works with black soldier fly (BSF) larvae to carry out biowaste treatment and organic byproduct upcycling.

Essentially, the goal is to create a circular food system using BSF technology.

So far, Entomal has created food for pets. One is whole dried larvae that can be enjoyed by birds, chickens, and fishes. The other is TERA Diet, Entomal’s brand of cat food.
