Vgarden Expands Into Australia with Cale & Daughters to Bring Healthy and Delicious Plant-Based Foods to the Region
Summary
The facility will also make it easier to capture the food service market, including restaurants, caterers, hospitals, grocers and other organizations who are increasingly offering plant-based options as the general public continues to embrace veganism and flexitarianism.According to a recent report published by Fortune Business Insights, the global vegan food market is projected to grow from $26.16 billion in 2021 to $61.35 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 12.95% between 2021-2028.The market for Australia’s plant-based products is predicted to reach $9 Billion by 2030 according to a recent study by CIRSO , and the country is the third fastest-growing in the world when it comes to consumer demand for meat and dairy alternatives, for reasons of health, philosophy and a desire to address the negative environmental impact traditional farming has on the planet.“We are extremely proud of the partnership we have forged with Cale and Daughters over the last two years as we share the same idealist values and clear vision for the potential of delicious, nutritious foods to improve lives and contribute to the growth of healthier lifestyles,” said Ilan Adut, CEO of Vgarden Israel. “After investing time and resources into creating this collaboration, it is very exciting to come out of stealth mode today as we launch this new business in such a high-growth and meaningful market.”“The team at Cale and Daughters is thrilled to join with Vgarden to continue building our shared success in Australia,” said Cale Drouin, founder and CEO of Cale and Daughters Pty Ltd. “Consumer demand continues to surge in this market as the adoption of veganism, the reduction of the consumption of meat, and interest in plant-based food alternatives grows.”“Ultimately, manufacturing locally in Australia means we’ll be able to maintain price competitiveness and product accessibility, while being positioned to rapidly respond to the needs of our market Down Under. Partnering with Vgarden also means we can offer Australian customers quality plant-based products that have a smaller carbon footprint, which is very exciting,” added Mr Drouin.Earlier this year, Vgarden Israel was deeply honored to host the Australian ambassador to Israel, Mr. Paul Griffiths, and Ms. Yooree Lee from the Australian embassy in Tel-Aviv to their manufacturing facility to discuss operations in Australia.Israel has the highest number of vegans per capita, and like Australia, is a leader in protecting the environment with cleaner methods of farming, manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of healthier food.About Vgarden IsraelVgarden is a leading developer and manufacturer of delicious plant-based, vegan foods.
