Visit from Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB)

It was an honour to welcome a delegation from the Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB) to our Black Soldier Fly farm for a productive discussion on future collaboration in sustainable waste management.

Our guests

We were delighted to host:

• Sulaiman Sainuddin — Regional Manager, West Region
• Edy Bin Hannias — Estate Manager, Belinin KAVSB
• Marius Molisin — Estate Manager, Bingkor, SLDB
• Waktu Lemon — Estate Manager, Nabawan SLDB
• Bon — Estate Manager, Binakaan
• Salahuddin Helmy Yahya — OIC, KAVSB Karamatoi
• Arash Ambotang — OIC, Punteh KAVSB
• Awang Rajik Bulat — OIC, Dalit / Inandung

During the visit, we shared how our Black Soldier Fly operation converts organic and household waste into high-value larvae and organic fertiliser. A key focus of the discussion was the estates' potential to supply household waste from around 500 units across their operations — a steady organic stream that could be responsibly repurposed rather than sent to landfill.

Together, we explored the framework for a future partnership on waste management, with both sides keen to formalise the collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the days ahead.

A big thank you to the SLDB delegation for making the trip and for the open, forward-looking conversation. We look forward to the next steps of working together toward a more circular and sustainable future for Sabah.
