European alt-meat and alt-dairy company Naturli’ Foods has opened a manufacturing facility in Sydney’s North Rocks in partnership with Botany Group. The two companies said Australia is the third-fastest growing vegan market worldwide with consumer spending on plant-based meats projected to reach $3 billion by the year 2030. The joint venture will manufacture Naturli’ plant-based mince along with the company’s plant-based burgers, Chick’n Style mince and a range of other products for sale in supermarkets nationwide.
