VeChain Food Safety SaaS Service Onboards Light Food Brand RECIPE, Rising Star In the Chinese Market
Demand for high quality fresh foods has increased dramatically among China’s middle class as health and fitness increasingly takes centre stage as a focus in society. This shift in food-related consumption habits — ranging from high-end goods to nutrient-supplementing essentials — is giving rise to a ballooning healthy foods market in China.
According to an iiMedia Research report, total health food sales in China grew 12.4% year on year to about RMB 250.3 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach RMB270.8 billion in 2021. With total sales of health foods continuing to grow, the market outlook remains rosy for many years ahead.
With such a colossal market to serve, this trend has made China one of the most viable places for technical innovations surrounding healthy foods to sprout. RECIPE, seizing the immense opportunity, is rising like a shooting star in this booming market, reaching multi-million dollar revenue after launching this year, in March 2021.
As a player with a keen advantage, RECIPE decided to drive its advantage further still, teaming up with VeChain to enhance its competitiveness even further, providing transparency and oversight about the qualities and nutritional facts of its products using VeChain’s off-the-shelf ‘Food Safety SaaS Service’ built on VeChainThor.
