Mukka Proteins has consistently embraced sustainability, having commercialized insect protein as a significant innovation for the aquaculture and animal feed industry. The company’s waste-to-food initiatives have contributed to environmental sustainability, particularly in collaboration with the Mangaluru municipality for waste management. These efforts not only align with global environmental best practices but also enhance circular economy processes, focusing on converting municipal waste into valuable protein and oil products.

As a key player in the aquaculture and nutraceutical markets, Mukka contributes 25-30% of the market share in India’s fishmeal and fish oil industry.
The company plans to expand its operations further, capitalizing on this capital infusion to enter new markets and enhance its global footprint. Additionally, the company’s Board approved an increase in its authorized share capital from ₹30 crore to ₹40 crore to facilitate the preferential issue. This issuance is subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals, including shareholder approval at the upcoming Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on November 16, 2024.
Managing Director and CEO Mr. Harris commented, “This preferential issue is a major milestone for Mukka Proteins as we continue to strengthen our market position. Our growth plans remain firmly rooted in sustainability, and this capital will enable us to scale up production, diversify our product offerings, and reinforce our commitment to responsible and eco-friendly business practices.”
