ICYMI Protein Industries Canada, alongside PBFC member Earth's Own Food Company and partners Alinova Canada Inc, Marusan Ai Co. and Yoso, are launching an initiative to boost domestic processing of Canadian-grown soybeans. A pilot-scale soy powder facility in Ontario will increase the value of Canada’s soybean crops, keeping processing closer to home while targeting key export markets like Japan. With a $23.9M investment, this project aims to enhance Canada’s competitiveness in the global plant-based protein market. In addition to supporting local agriculture this consortium also introduces high-quality soy-based options for Canadians and global consumers. #PlantBasedInnovation #SustainableAgriculture #CanadianSoy https://lnkd.in/gwsvqxzW
