The two companies formed a strategic partnership in 2022 to develop proprietary technology for co-producing mycoprotein and bioethanol from rice. This facility serves as a hub for scale-up verification and will form the basis for future commercial plant design. The companies aim to produce 5,000 tons of mycoprotein annually and are considering global expansion.
