Plant-based protein food company GREENEST shipped the first consignment of India's plant-based meat to the US on Wednesday. The 5,000 kg consignment consisted of mini samosas, hot and spicy strips, momos, spring rolls, nuggets, and grilled patty, among other products, according to an announcement by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), and reported by BusinessLine(BL).
"This is just a beginning, and we hope that India with its rich vegetarian heritage will become a hub for the growing global demand for plant-based Vegan products," M Angamuthu, chairman, APEDA, was quoted as saying by BL.
The report further added that APEDA expects the Indian plant protein market to reach $400-450 million in the next five years.
