Axiom Foods Expands Production of “Better-Tasting” Pea Protein to Address Supply Gaps and High Prices in the US

Axiom Foods, a major plant-based ingredient company in the US, has expanded production of its better-tasting pea protein, Vegotein N, in response to supply gaps and high prices in the market. Produced locally in North America, the pea protein aims to provide a cost-effective solution for plant-based and allergy-free foods. By January 2025, over 2,000 metric tons will be processed annually, with capacity set to double within the next year.

The company's move represents a significant supply chain shift, moving away from China's dominance in pea protein supply. With tariffs affecting Chinese imports and disrupting the market, Axiom Foods is stepping in to offer a reliable, local, and affordable alternative. Their pea protein is touted as neutral-tasting, allergen-free, and GMO-free, with plans for further expansion and new product lines in the near future. Axiom Foods aims to cater to the growing demand for sustainable plant-based proteins, with the global pea protein market projected to reach $7 billion by 2031.
