Bunge expands protein portfolio with pea and faba concentrates

This allows food and feed customers to easily enhance protein content and support non-GMO and allergen-free labeling

Bunge is expanding its portfolio to include pea and faba protein concentrates, which complement our leading soy protein concentrate portfolio. For this, we are collaborating with Golden Fields, an agricultural company and key dry miller of pea and faba in Europe to meet the rising demand for plant proteins beyond soy in the food, pet, and feed segments. Golden Fields built and will operate a new factory in Liepaja, Latvia to produce exclusively for Bunge.

Bunge’s new range of pea and faba protein concentrates are non-GMO, light in colour, finely powdered, and deliver 55-70 per cent protein on a dry basis. This allows food and feed customers to easily enhance protein content and support non-GMO and allergen-free labeling.

• 55-70 per cent protein content
• Allergen free

Bunge’s pea and faba protein concentrates also bring sustainability benefits as they’re made from pea and faba farmed through crop rotation practices and are extracted via dry-fractionation without using water or solvents, which are typically utilized in pulse protein production.  
Crop sourcing originates from a European network of local farmers across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia limiting distance to the processing venue.
