Sutsung Enterprise Private Limited is a Nagaland-based agri-tech company building scalable circular economy solutions rooted in local resources and Northeast India's regional needs. We operate at the convergence of biology, technology, and community deploying Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) biotechnology to transform organic and agricultural waste into protein and fertilizer (agricultural) inputs, while simultaneously reducing waste and increasing farmers income.

Project story

Sutsung: Turning Waste Into Abundance

What started as a passing comment about an insect at a 2021 workshop became a movement. In 2023, Dr. Akumtoshi Lkr, an ecologist with a Ph.D. in Botany, and Jongpong Chiten, a sustainability strategist, co-founded Sutsung with a bold vision: harness the Black Soldier Fly to transform food waste into protein-rich feed and nutrient-dense soil amendments.

Operating from Dimapur and Seithekema-A Village in Nagaland, Sutsung has created a living laboratory where farmers and young people experience circular agriculture firsthand. They're proving that waste and scarcity aren't inevitable—they're design failures waiting to be fixed.

The path isn't easy. Remote geography, sparse infrastructure, and skepticism pose real obstacles. But the team's commitment runs as deep as the soil they're regenerating.

Sutsung exists to demonstrate one simple truth: transformation begins with attention, grows through persistence, and thrives when communities work together. A regenerative future isn't a distant dream—it's something we can build today.
