Moreover, various factors contributing to the growth of refrigerated plant based food are meat shortage and concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak in the meat processing facilities.

Growing concerns about Greenhouse Gas (GHG), provided by the meat business and animal well-being procedures, are expected to boost the demand for plant-based meat foodstuffs."
