Many Billions in Plant-Protein Infrastructure Investment Needed to Meet 2030 Demand

FN Media Group Presents USA News Group News Commentary

 

Vancouver, BC – March 17, 2022 – USA News Group  –  Despite garnering a record $5 billion in disclosed investments in 2021, the rapidly growing sustainable protein industry still will need approximately $27 billion more in plant-based ingredients infrastructure in place to meet 2030 demand, according to the Good Food Institute. Beyond just faux meat, the meatless protein industry expands into other segments, including snacks and wholesale ingredients for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs). Innovation and investment continues to gain momentum in the sector, including recent updates from groups such as as Nepra Foods (CSE:NPRA) (OTCQB:NPRFF), Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB), Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE:HRL), General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS), and Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST).

 

In 2020, the plant-based food market totaled $29.4 billion, and according to Statista it’s expected to grow to $77.8 billion by 2025.

 

Less than a year after its successfully an oversubscribed IPO late in 2021, plant-based protein innovators  Nepra Foods (CSE:NPRA) (OTCQB:NPRFF) have witnessed rapid growth and interest in its productions, including is proprietary asset known as Textured Hemp ProteinTM (THP).

 

Because hemp protein is an excellent source of plant-based protein, Nepra has touted its product’s qualities of being a nutritious plant-based and allergen-free that’s lean, rich in amino acids, a good source of iron, magnesium and manganese, and may even prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.

 

The company recently launched its latest PROPASTA™ line of heat-and-eat plant-based meals, at the Natural Foods Expo West in Anaheim, California, with attendance estimated to top 80,000 people.

 

“Our team of food scientists and chefs, led by Chadwick White, Co-Founder and CTO, worked tirelessly over the past year to develop recipes and formulations that are unmatched in the industry today,” said David Wood, Co-Founder and CEO of Nepra Foods. “PROPASTA™ is a bold category-leading brand that meets people where they are in the frozen food aisle with great tasting, animal-free meals that deliver true nutrition for everyone.”

 

PROPASTA™ targets American Flexitarians wanting to reduce their consumption of animal-based products as well as their impact on the environment—a segment representing over 45 million weekly shoppers and 41% of the U.S. population.

 

Made from proprietary formulations of hemp hearts, PROPASTA™ Spaghetti and Meatballs, Ricotta Ravioli with Marinara, and Macaroni and Cheese provide a complete protein source that is rich in healthy fats, easy to digest, non-GMO, and free from the top 8 allergens.

 

Nepra also recently announced the full operations of its first dedicated extrusion line from new extruder equipment at its Colorado facility, which the company says will exponentially increase ingredient output and boost overall sales revenue.

 

This specialized equipment can produce Texturized Hemp Protein, THP™ (800,000 lbs./year) that is used in plant-based meat analogues such as vegan meatballs and chunk chicken, used in Nepra’s product lines with additional capacity sold wholesale to other food producers.

 

These wholesale THP™ sales alone are expected to boost company revenue by up to US$3.5 million annually.

 

Household soup brands Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) and Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE:HRL) have been actively pursuing their place among the American Flexitarian markets with offerings of their own as of late.

 

Four years ago, Campbell Soup launched a line of plant-based protein soups under the Well Yes! Brand—which featured proteins like chickpeas, lentils and quinoa. They would then go on to develop more plant-based options under their signature red-and-white-cans line.

 

Back then, Campbell’s Senior Vice-President, Carlos Barroso, said the company was “literally scouring the earth” to find new sources of protein.

 

Then in 2020, Campbell’s added new plant-based sauces to its Prego+ line. “We recognized that interest in plant-based foods is at an all-time high, and with 42% of consumers already admitting to using sauces to hide veggies,* we set out to create a sauce that makes it easy to incorporate veggies and plant protein into meals,” said Campbell Executive Chef Bryan Cozzi.

 

Competitors Hormel Foods recently announced a partnership with the makers of the HAPPY LITTLE PLANTS brand to bring plant-based proteins to pizza chefs all over. As per their announcement, the two companies will be bringing plant-based protein pizza toppings to menus and events across America in 2022—including through The World Pizza Champions™.

 

“This collaboration will bring plant-forward pizza topping options to team members’ restaurants, as well as several events in 2022, including the country’s foremost pizza event, Pizza Expo in Las Vegas, [Nevada],” said Anthony Panichelli, brand manager for Foodservice at Hormel Foods. “We are proud to partner with such a credible and reputable organization to bring this brand to foodservice operators nationwide.”

 

Late in 2021, General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) launched its own animal-free dairy cheese brand, called Bold Cultr, made with Perfect Day’s fermentation-created dairy proteins. This was marked as the first Big Food launch of a product made with animal-free dairy proteins, and the second cream cheese to be made this way.

 

“Many of the consumers we talked to want to be animal-free but cheese is holding them back – the alternatives aren’t doing what consumers want them to,” said Bold Cultr Co-founder Laura Engstrom, a 10-year veteran of General Mills. “We’re excited to reimagine what cheese can be and tackle this consumer problem head on.”

 

In March of 2022, the Bold Cultr product was announced to be available in bagel shops, through the Rise Bagel Co. in its North Loop.

 

“It’s about elevating the whole bagel experience,” said Kate Lloyd, co-owner of Rise, a Minneapolis-based bagel bakery that touts its organic ingredients. “We’ve always cared about the quality of ingredients. We really care about sustainability and environmentalism, so we’re really excited about this partnership.”

 

Another food giant known for its breakfast related offerings is Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST), which in early 2021 announced a strategic collaboration with plant-based startup Hungry Planet to potentially collaborate on manufacturing and product development.

 

“Working closely with Post, we are accelerating the breadth of market we can reach by leveraging their established relationships with retailers and distributors,” said Hungry Planet co-founders Todd and Judy Boyman in an email statement to Food Navigator USA. “Additionally, we are partnering with Post to make new, innovative plant-based items that will further grow this exciting market segment.”

 

Earlier in March 2022, Hungry Planet debuted its new Breakfast Sausage at the same Natural Foods Expo West as Nepra Foods launched its new PROPASTATM line.
