Demand for plant-based food is only gaining momentum. In fact, over the next three to four years, says Cargill CEO Dave MacLennan, as noted by AGWeb, “plant-based protein will possibly make up 10% of the market. He says it will continue to eat into the market share of traditional meat demand. Despite being a major beef processor, Cargill continues to increase its footprint in the plant-protein industry, including selling pea protein to businesses like Beyond Meat.” That continues to be a solid catalyst for companies such as Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM)(OTCQB:KOMOF), Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BABY)(OTCQX: BABYF)(FSE:0YL), Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ:VGFC)(TSXV:VERY), Oatly Group (NASDAQ:OTLY), and Odd Burger Corporation (TSXV:ODD)(OTCQB:GBLYF).
In addition, “Consumer demand for plant-based options has been growing steadily, and quick-service restaurants are doing their part to meet the demand with alternative burgers and chicken. Technomic Ignite menu data predicts that plant-based proteins will grow nearly 35% on menus by the end of 2022,” notes Restaurant Business Online.
