09 Jul 2019 --- Royal DSM (DSM) will join forces with French agro-industrial group Avril to develop a new protein based on non-GMO canola, coined CanolaPRO. The facility of Saipol, an Avril subsidiary, will likely be the state-of-the-art industrial production site in Dieppe, France. It will be fully dedicated to producing canola proteins, with first production expected to hit the commercial market by the end of 2021. DSM’s experience in food and beverage solutions, in combination with Avril’s 35 years in agriculture, will allow the companies to effectively respond to the growing consumer demand for plant-based proteins.
