We would like to draw your attention to certain trends in the German food market:

1. in spite of the well-developed market of modern animal husbandry, the consumer in economically developed countries prefers to purchase protein of plant origin;

2. The German buyer would like to purchase not so much a food product rich in plant protein as a nutraceutical, which, among other things, has certain therapeutic properties.

The regional supply chain for the production of high protein edible hemp will be funded by the German government in the amount of € 800,000. This project will be implemented in the Baden-Württemberg region, where Signature Products GmbH has joined the University of Hohenheim (Universität Hohenheim) in applying for resources from public innovation funds that are used to develop processes, technologies and recipes for the production of protein-rich tofu, pasta, and other foods grown in the region.
