Why Plant Based Stocks are Set to Cook in 2022

February 08, 2022 - Baystreet.ca


There’s massive demand for plant-based foods. So much so, the market could be worth up to $74.2 billion by 2027, according to Research and Markets. By 2030, according to Fortune, sales are expected to increase five-fold by 2030. All as millions adopt healthier, meat-free lifestyles. Tyson, Smithfield, Perdue, Hormel, and Nestle are all jumping on bandwagon, selling plant-based products, too. That could all be beneficial for Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM) (OTCQB:KOMOF), Oatly Inc. (NASDAQ:OTLY), good natured Products Inc. (TSXV:GDNP) (OTC:SLGBF), Guru Organic Energy Corp. (TSX:GURU)(OTC:GUROF), and Goodfood Market Corp. (TSX:FOOD)(OTC:GDDFF).

“We are so pleased we can finally offer our delicious plant-based frozen comfort food to the US. We have many inquiries from people across the United States who really wanted to try our food and now they can order through GTFO It’s Vegan,” says Komo CEO William White. “At Komo we believe plant-based eating is the future and change can start with a single bite.

Oatly Inc., the world’s original and largest oat drink company, announced a major collaboration with Deutsche Bahn (DB) in Germany: beginning 1 January 2022, the Oatly Barista Edition will be available in the on-board catering of ICE and Intercity trains as the first ever plant-based milk alternative offering for consumers. The Oatly Barista Edition will initially be available with Fairtrade certified filter coffee or Caffè Crema.
