India seeks to be global plant protein supplier
Meanwhile, discussions are going on to see India as a global plant protein supplier, building a millennium of plant-based foods and traditions and culture.
The Plant-Based Food Industry Association (PBFIA) revealed that the country’s increase in trade opportunities is significantly growing and could be the leading source of ingredients for the world’s rapidly growing plant-based foods market.
“The Plant Protein Cluster envisages the construction of 12 centres in India to transform the country’s food processing and agriculture industries to supply the global plant-based food market, which is expected to be valued at US$162 billion by 2030.”
Recently, Mane unveiled its manufacturing facility in India, which was initiated jointly by Mr Jean Mane, president of the Mane Group and Dr Geemon Korah, executive director, and CEO of Mane Kancor.
The facility, which spreads around fifty acres of land, is set to generate employment in the region and create indirect opportunities for many people, including farmers.
The facility is in Byadgi, which is the main growing belt for high-colour varieties of chilli and falls under the Make-In-India program, an initiative of the Indian government.
