Feasibility Study for a Plant-Based Meat Production Project in Riyadh
Feasibility Study for a Plant-Based Meat Production Project in Riyadh: The project aims to establish a facility specializing in the production of plant-based meat alternatives in Riyadh, using plant-based snails extracted from peas, soybeans, and lentils, and modern technologies to transform them into products that mimic the taste, texture, and texture of traditional meat.
The project aims to attract consumers seeking a healthy, plant-based lifestyle, those concerned with environmental sustainability, and those with allergies to meat or animal products.
