“…The cricket is sold for 100-200 Malagasy Ariary (0.027-0.055 US$) per individual body and for 500-1500 Malagasy Ariary (0.14-0.41 US$) per kapoaka, a tin can of about 400 mL commonly used as a unit of measurement for selling produce. The level of edible Orthoptera marketing seems to be lower than in some other countries with Orthoptera consumption, such as Togo [21], Laos [22], and Japan [23,24].…”

“…The mineral composition (mg/100 g DM) showed K (47.6), P (45.9), Na (44.4), Mg (43.8), Zn (24.2), Ca (12.9) and Fe (1.3). However, Badanaro et al (2014) reported that the proximate compositions for fresh raw caterpillar of Cirina forda were found as CP (51.43%), CF (8.42%) and ash (18.43%). The macro mineral profile (mg/100 g) was 233.…”

“…People eat caterpillars of Cirina forda from Togo (Badanaro et al 2014) and Nigeria (Fasoranti and Ajiboye 1993;Ande 2002;Agbidye 2009) to South Africa (DeFoliart 1995). Similarly, Rhynchophorus phoenicis and Brachytrupes membranaceus are used northwards up to Nigeria (Fasoranti and Ajiboye 1993).…”

“…In addition, price analyses are valuable only in the context of each particular gross national product and vary from village level, in markets and online (Huis et al 2013). Badanaro (2014) documented the Togo retailer prices on Cirina forda up to 2.5 US$ per kilo in 2013 while for Nigeria, in 2009 prices for one kilo of Cirina forda reached 1.4 US$ (Agbidye et al 2009). However, collected data indicate that the collection and sale of some of the edible insects are part of the livelihood diversification strategy in Northern Angola that provides multiple income-generating opportunities for households, comparable to other countries (Huis et al 2013).…”
