Tesco has committed to boosting sales of meat alternatives by 300% by 2025 as demand for sustainable food grows.
Over the past year Tesco said it's sales of chilled meat-free foods have increased by almost 50 per cent. The global market for plant-based protein is predicted to be worth £4.1 billion this year up from £2.9 billion in 2015.
It certainly all fits in with the future outlook for the Irish mushroom industry, to provide high protein varieties and ingredients in plant -based products!
