Better Meat Co targets India mycoprotein production by Q2 2027
· Agriculture & Food · India
The Better Meat Co, now doing business as BMC Ingredients, plans large-scale mycoprotein production in India by the second quarter of 2027. The company says it intends to become "the first truly global mycelium ingredients company." The announcement comes amid what the report describes as a brutal shakeout in the mycoprotein sector, in which several players have struggled. Moving to large-scale production in India would mark a step from ingredient development toward manufacturing scale for the fermentation-derived protein category.
Why it matters：Scaling mycoprotein in a low-cost market tests whether fermentation proteins can compete after a sector shakeout, a key question for alternative-protein investors.
Key points
- The company now operates as BMC Ingredients.
- Production is targeted for India in Q2 2027.
- The mycoprotein sector is described as undergoing a severe shakeout.
