Beyond Meat has announced a new partnership with 'Pinduoduo,' a Chinese agricultural technology platform. Through this partnership, Beyond Meat will launch an online store for its flagship plant-based meat products. This new online store will make Beyond Meat products, such as 'Beyond Beef' and 'Beyond Pork,' more accessible to the Chinese market.
Beyond Meat opened a manufacturing plant in China in September of last year, which means it does not need to ship its Beyond products internationally in order to generate supply for Pinduoduo. While plant-based meats have yet to become a national sensation in China, Beyond Meat hopes to alleviate some of the strain on the foodservice supply chain in China while also providing a tasty, healthy option for consumers to enjoy. China has a huge meat industry that largely consists of imports, so having local factories to produce reliable food sources, such as Beyond Meat, is excellent news.
