agriculture was just one of
the opportunities New Zealand
needs to grasp.
“There is already the perception
that we produce safe, clean food.

OFFERING

says US consumers’ attitudes
toward plant-based meat
alternatives reveal significant
interest and market opportunity
in the meat-free, meal solution
segment. The shift toward

food and beverage intake,
according to a 2017 Health
Focus International study. A
further 54 percent say including
more plant in their diet makes
them feel healthier.
