Promising study on low-salt fasting-mimicking diet for chronic kidney disease
Expected to be completed by early 2025, the enhancements will enable Cargill to better collaborate with its food manufacturing, food service and retail customers in Singapore
To advance innovation and further contribute to Asia’s vibrant food ecosystem, Cargill is bolstering the capabilities of its Singapore Innovation Centre, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore.
Expected to be completed by early 2025, the enhancements will enable Cargill to better collaborate with its food manufacturing, food service and retail customers in Singapore and across the region to develop innovative foods that meet Asian consumer trends. By establishing and augmenting new and existing innovation capabilities, as well as strengthening external innovation with customers, suppliers and other partners, the transition of the centre will also provide opportunities for customers to grow and expand, be it locally, regionally or globally, by leveraging Cargill’s extensive network and regional strength.
According to Cargill’s 2024 proprietary APAC TrendTracker study, health and wellness are top of mind for Asian consumers when making diet and lifestyle choices. At the same time, consumers also enjoy indulging in food and beverages while seeking guilt-free pleasures, novelty and elevated sensory experiences. Last but not least, the rise of the middle class across Asia with consumers enjoying greater spending power while also wanting more convenience in their busier lives is driving strong growth in the food service and HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant, Café/Catering) sectors as dining out, takeaways and food deliveries become increasingly popular.
