Our mission: Aligning plant-based protein supply with demand
Plantrients was incorporated in 2021 by a group of investors to build and commission a wet pea fractionation facility in Canada, leveraging the favourable local resources and raw material supply..
The finished products (pea isolate/pea protein, pea starch and pea fibre, both in conventional and organic quality) are highly sought-after food ingredients addressing the booming plant-based foods market. Analysts expect that demand for pea proteins will exceed supply soon.
The project follows the investment hypothesis that the supply chains for plant-based foods will experience rapid growth. However, the upstream stages in the value chains of this industry are significantly uninvested. Thus, processing capacities for pulses/ingredients have hardly expanded.
