There’s never been a better moment to the veggie burgers industry in Brazil.

Marfrig, the second largest Brazilian food processing company, joined the US food giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in an exclusive partnership to develop and distribute their own veggie burgers in Brazil. Meanwhile, ADM will provide the raw material for the production, and Marfrig will be responsible for producing the hamburgers in an industry based in the Brazilian city of Várzea Grande and selling them to local food services.

“The first veggie burgers made by Marfrig and ADM will be available in the market this year, and after that, they will also be exported,” reveals Marfrig in an official press release. 

The potential of the veggie burger industry in Brazil has been unlocked, but who will be the great winner of the Brazilian market of veggie burgers, we cannot know yet. The only thing we can know for sure now is that all the players involved so far earned their title.
