Far East Microalgae Industries — FEMI
Far East Microalgae Industries (FEMI) is Taiwan's second major spirulina and chlorella producer, operating since 1983. They are primarily a bulk ingredient supplier rather than a consumer brand, and their spirulina is used by numerous private-label supplement companies in Europe, North America, and Japan. Their production standards are competitive with FEBICO.
