The APEDA has facilitated the export of first contingent of plant-based meat products under vegan food category from Gujarat to California, US.

Key facts

• Vegan food products are highly popular in the developed countries because of their rich fibre, high nutrient content and lesser cholesterol levels.
• India’s first contingent of plant-based meat products were exported by Greenest Foods, an Indian company based in Gujarat.
• This feat was achieved through the collaboration between Greenest Foods and Wholesome Foods.
• This makes plant-based meat and vegan food products a new highly potential addition to India’s export basket.
