- Haofood — The popularity of plant-based meat is rapidly growing in China; in 2020, 39% of the population were attempting to reduce their meat consumption, and 65% of them were willing to try plant-based meat to help them in this.

They are the first company in the world to use peanut protein as their base, taking advantage of its potential for a strong and elastic texture.
