珀杜农场(Perdue Farms根据彭博社的说法。
吉姆·珀杜(Jim Perdue)董事长告诉彭博社,这可能包括纯素食或将肉类,植物性蛋白质和蔬菜结合在一起的产品。他说:“我们的愿景是成为高级蛋白质中最值得信赖的名字。”“它没有说优质的肉蛋白,只有优质蛋白质。那就是消费者要去的地方。”
Perdue also said the privately held company, founded by his grandfather in 1920, isn't interested in investing in cell-based meat products at this time.
Dive Insight:
Perdue is the latest meat and poultry producer to recognize that plant-based meat alternatives are no longer a niche alternative but a powerhouse category.According to Nielsen and the Plant Based Foods Association,这些产品在过去一年中的销售总额6.7亿美元,比上一年增长24%。同时,在此期间,基于动物的肉类的销售仅增长约2%。
The red meat and poultry market is still well ahead of alternative proteins, though. According to CoBank figures cited by Bloomberg, sales of beef and chicken total $49 billion — but alternative proteins are forecast to grow by 17% annually to reach $863 million in 2021.
Tyson Foods' decision to take a5% stake in plant-based food maker Beyond Meat2016年反映了这一细分市场的增长。肉巨人去年增加了投资through its Tyson Ventures venture capital arm and也买了孟菲斯肉,今年早些时候,一家位于旧金山的细胞培养肉类初创公司。举动随后嘉吉在公司中的股份这是传统肉类生产商在细胞培养的肉类空间中的第一笔投资。
嘉吉蛋白增长企业总裁Sonya McCullum Roberts,在新闻稿中说孟菲斯肉类投资是探索萌芽蛋白类别潜力的一种方式。她说:“孟菲斯肉类有潜力为我们的客户和消费者提供扩展的蛋白质选择,并与我们的使命保持一致,以安全,负责任和可持续的方式滋养世界。”
泰森食品公司(Tyson Foods)首席执行官汤姆·海斯(Tom Hayes)表示,投资非传统蛋白质来源是有道理的,因为世界将需要更多来源的蛋白质。
“这也不是'或'场景;这是'是和“场景”,他在一份声明中说。"If you think about it, a protein strategy inclusive of alternative forms is intuitive for Tyson Foods. It's another step toward giving today’s consumers what they want and feeding tomorrow's consumers sustainably for years to come."
吉姆·珀杜(Jim Perdue)似乎在同样的思路中思考,尽管该公司的“全面”策略可能必须集中在一定程度上,具体取决于公司或品牌的出售以及珀杜(Perdue)可以处理多少新产品系列。此外,珀杜(Perdue)的专业知识可能没有像嘉吉(Cargill)或泰森食品(Tyson Foods)这样的更广泛,更多元化的公司,因此何时和是否具有其他品牌的学习曲线可能会有更陡峭的学习曲线。无论如何,随着消费者从非动物选择中要求更多的蛋白质及其竞争对手将其存在扩展到空间,珀杜别无选择,只能进入该类别。
