The Food of the Future conference was held at the PRODEXPO 2022 international food exhibition, with Valeria Rodina discussing the rise of plant-based products as a new trend in healthy nutrition. She highlighted a doubling of the product range in retail outlets and increased market competition, leading to lower prices and more consumer choices. Retail chains are viewing plant products as a promising category to meet consumer trends and expectations. In 2021, vegetable meat surpassed plant-based milk as the most popular plant-based product, and the expectation is for the market to expand further in 2022 with the introduction of more vegetable alternatives to dairy and egg products.
