Polyfly’s internationalisation

At Polyfly, we aspire to become the global benchmark in natural and sustainable alternative pollinators based on hoverflies. Thanks to our pioneering leadership —we were the first company in the world to research, produce, and commercialize hoverflies as managed natural pollinators—, we operate the world’s first industrial facility dedicated exclusively to the mass rearing of hoverflies for pollination purposes.

Our vision is international, grounded in the cosmopolitan nature of our two main species:

• QUEENFLY® (Eristalis tenax): This hoverfly species is the most widely distributed globally, found on every continent except Antarctica. Its adaptation to temperate and cold climates makes it ideal for spring and autumn seasons.
• GOLDFLY® (Eristalinus aeneus): With a global distribution, this species is very common in temperate and warm regions. Its high heat tolerance (>36 °C) makes it the perfect choice for spring and summer crops.

The widespread presence of these species across various regions reinforces our commitment to offering local pollinators adapted to each specific environment.

Global Expansion

Polyfly is currently undergoing a process of international commercial expansion, aiming to establish a presence in strategic markets such as Australia and New Zealand, the Americas, and Africa.

This expansion is supported by the following advantages of our hoverflies:

• Versatility in agricultural settings: Our hoverflies perform effectively in a wide range of environments, including greenhouses, tunnels, mesh structures, and open fields.
• Climate resilience: They maintain consistent pollination activity under diverse weather conditions —extreme temperatures, cloud cover, or wind— where traditional pollinators such as bees or bumblebees may be less efficient.
• Generalist pollination: Their low floral selectivity enables them to pollinate a broad range of crops, making them suitable for different crops and production systems.
• Alternative and complementary to conventional pollinators: They serve as an excellent alternative or complement to bees and bumblebees, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of pollination services.
• Global pilot initiatives: Projects and trials are underway to establish hoverflies as alternative pollinators for open-field crops in regions like Australia and New Zealand, where chronic pollination deficits exist.

We aim to bring sustainable natural pollination to agriculture worldwide, actively contributing to global food security and the development of more environmentally responsible farming practices.

Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

At Polyfly, our work is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We actively contribute to the following global objectives:

SDG 2: Zero hunger and food security

By increasing the productivity and quality of pollination-dependent crops, we help combat food insecurity and improve access to nutritious food.

SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth

Our natural pollinators help increase agricultural yields and fruit quality, supporting sustainable economic growth in the agri-food sector.

SDG 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure

We offer competitive, scalable, and easy-to-implement innovation for agribusiness, promoting more sustainable and efficient farming practices.

SDG 10: Reduced inequalities

We contribute to maintaining the diversity of high-quality fruits and vegetables in human diets, promoting equitable access to healthy food across regions.

SDG 13: Climate action

We provide natural and resilient solutions that limit environmental degradation, helping agriculture adapt to climate challenges.

SDG 15: Life on land

We reduce the need for chemical agricultural inputs and promote biodiversity, protecting terrestrial ecosystems and supporting their recovery.
