27 Apr 2020 --- The COVID-19 pandemic is having myriad effects on small plant-based businesses. That is according to The Good Food Institute (GFI) Director of Corporate Engagement Alison Rabschnuk, who flags that plant-based brands have experienced some negative impacts on their business amid the global crisis. “It may take that sector a long time to recover,” she claims. Despite a surge in plant-based products launching, the outbreak spells uncertainties for the booming sector, according to the GFI. Meanwhile, European plant-based players Heura and fiid speak out about the unprecedented changes the global crisis has brought on, flagging the pandemic as “an inflection point,” and highlighting how consumers are seeking comfort in meat-free products, respectively.
