Australian Growers’ Post

Since this blog posting 5 years ago, the domestic US grocery story larder has changed profoundly. Plantmilks are found everywhere. Thursday, August 08, 2019 TIME for a PUBLIC OPTION on plantmilks?? Let's not WAIT UNTIL we get sick. Let's get our plantmilks NOW. TIME for a PUBLIC OPTION on plantmilks?? Let's not WAIT UNTIL we get sick. Let's get our plantmilks NOW. So MUCH competition in the plantmilk space is broadening opportunities for consumers to try an array of very different plantmilks (not all plantmilks are the same - in fact, NO plantmilks are the same as any other plantmilks; they ALL differ). But if ACCESS to plantmilks is the issue, there are SOME locations - by zip code - where plantmilks are NOT immediately accessible to coffee drinkers, cereal eaters, and others who tipple at the extruded plants. Arguably, all this competition in the plantmilk space may be great for consumers, but the price point BENEFITS of competition cannot be GREAT for the fiscal sustainability of all these risk-taking innovators. Some plantmilk producers will WIN - and some may go out of business after they have done 'their yeoman's duty' to expand the market for plantmilks. Is it not time for some public strategy for dispersing plantmilks among the ENTIRE human population - maybe granting plantmilk as a protected right - so that everyone can have some plantmilk when and where they need it, and so that the nation's farmers can know that there's a continuing demand for high quality organic non-GMO plants to supply this industrial demand for producing soymilk. In nations outside the USA, a national healthcare plan can mandate universal coverage yet periodically open to competitive bidders for supplying the national 'right to healthcare'! A national right to plantmilks could be organized the same way without disemboweling competitors who want to continue producing. Those additional competitors would just not win the federal contract for supplying the public option, and the public option could be 95% powered by private industry efforts. What MIGHT be DIFFERENT (and hopefully BETTER) would be ACCESS to nondairy plantmilks, nondairy cheeses, nondairy creamers, and (I think that this would be INESSENTIAL) nondairy desserts. I'd wager that restaurants in SUCH an economic regime would carry plantmilks as a rule because it's a right, not because they suddenly took pity on the paying consumer. Those who declare 'SOY MILK IS A RIGHT' can build upon their public values. Plantmilk availability COULD become or be declared ethically normative in such a society. Posted by Maynard S.

🇸🇬🛒🥩 Shoppers in Singapore can now buy cultivated meat in retail. Eat Just, Inc., a Californian cultivated meat pioneer, launches its GOOD Meat chicken in the retail market at Huber's Butchery in Singapore. This marks the first time cultivated meat is available for retail purchase worldwide. The retail debut is a major breakthrough for the industry, which has struggled with manufacturing scalability and cost management. The retail launch was marked by the introduction of Good Meat 3, a new, lower-cost formulation: 👉 it contains only 3% cultivated meat cells 👉 comprised mostly of plant-based ingredients like wheat and soy proteins 👉 priced at S$7.20 ($5.35) for a 120g pack Eat Just's CEO, Josh Tetrick, highlighted that this retail availability is a significant step towards normalizing cultivated meat as a new food category. The launch coincides with the reopening of Huber’s Butchery after extensive renovations, further cementing Singapore's position as a leader in the cultivated meat industry. With additional cultivated meat products expected to enter the market, such as Vow’s cultivated quail and Meatable’s cultivated pork, Eat Just remains the only company to have its product available in retail freezers.

How does new produce make its way to our supermarket shelves and be mainstream? Are chefs the answer? Are supermarkets with their might and marketing budget? Our growers are finding it tough. The journey that produce takes in getting from paddock to plate is not so much a food chain as a food marathon and there are few rewards for making it across the finish line. Allan Fong from The Fresh Grower has led the way in growing and introducing new vegetable varieties to the NZ market. “It takes 3 – 5 years to get a product from trial to commercial production growing what you hope a customer will want to buy”.  Chef James Lissiman says “Speaking with the grower you can hear the frustration in his voice when they are continually being screwed down on price when you consider what has gone into developing new varieties. We need legislation around markup supermarkets place on fruits and vegetables, so they support growers to achieve a fairer price and leading to better consumer pricing so everybody benefits”.  Getting new varieties to market in front of supermarket buyers who then have to get it in front of consumers is not easy and it is the supermarkets and produce companies who have the greatest influence on what consumers will buy. Businesses like The Produce Company Limited are paving the way for new varieties to become mainstream. Sales Account Manager Dylan Merwood, says their team are passionate about leading the introduction of new and increased product lines to the market. “We need the risk factor and to source new products to inspire the industry.  We are there to be the link between the growers and plate inspiring chefs with new and different ingredients to elevate dishes. We give a voice to the growers”.  Produce Manager at New World Whangamata, Alexander Strobach, knows first-hand, the unpredictability of what the customer will buy particularly if they have never seen a certain product before. “Having recently visited The Fresh Grower, it was good to see where the produce comes from but the real benefit from the visit is that I now have a story to tell. Have you ever been to a fine dining restaurant where the sommelier is recommending a bottle of wine, and he will tell you all about where it’s from and the soil and who is growing/making the wine and how it’s been a family business for generations? It's the same really, and now I have more to say about the produce than just “it’s a Bok Choy”. Alex believes in educating staff in-store about new varieties so they can in turn inform the customers they serve. The evidence supports the importance of and value in having a greater connection across all parts of the fresh produce chain not only to increase awareness and understanding but ensuring that innovation and technology continue to play a key role in ensuring that here in NZ we continue to have a wealth of choice when it comes to ‘’eating our greens’.
