Negotiations of a sale of Nueva Pescanova to Cooke Inc. have been called off by Abanca, the owner of the Redondela, Pontevedra, Spain-based vertically integrated seafood firm. Cooke entered into an exclusivity agreement with Abanca in April 2023 in negotiating a purchase of an 80 percent stake in Pescanova, but the deal-making went cold in July after the two sides could not come to an agreement on the price. In June, Cooke lowered its offer for Nueva Pescanova, originally in the range of EUR 150 million (USD 165 million) plus the assumption of EUR 500 million (USD 552 million) in liabilities in exchange for an 80 percent ownership stake, to EUR 50 million (USD 54.7 million) plus a capital injection of EUR 200 million (USD 218.8 million).

While plant-based British companies are struggling, European companies are thriving. While in the UK, over 50% of food consumed is processed in Portugal, this number is below 11%. In continental Europe, plant-based companies are focused on creating meat that can be used as an ingredient to cook traditional dishes with fresh veggies and whole foods. The idea that there are more plant-based consumers in the UK was created because it’s easier to sell more processed foods, and fresh veggies are not accounted for. While in the UK, a vegan diet is now perceived as unhealthy continental Europe is seen as healthy. At Vegan Kind® we want to change that, and you can buy fresh vegetables and hundreds of whole foods from the biggest vegan marketplace. If you are a recipe maker or a plant-based food manufacturer and want to help us change the perception of vegan food, contact me. We are looking for the most realistic plant-based products, such as meat whole cuts, fishy fish cuts and other plant-based products that can be used to create traditional recipes. We are still looking for mushroom suppliers. Try buying from Vegan Kind® https://lnkd.in/dBdCPk3n https://lnkd.in/dSjCKv5B We have as well the best selection of plant-based cheese in the UK Http://https://lnkd.in/dJzNR2Aq At Vegan Kind® and Whole Food Earth® we want to help people eat better.

Thanks to the local companies that were involved - our UEBT members Agrocera , Brasil Ceras , Foncepi Natural Waxes Ltda, and Pontes Indústria de Cera It is clear that companies have an obligation to take action to: 🌴 address the challenges in this sector which means... 🌴 1) to source #responsible carnauba that respects Brazilian law 🌴 and 2) that aligns with #supplychains #duediligence regulations in EU, Germany and elsewere, and 🌴 that 3) follows good practices for #ethicalsourcing - including carnauba volumes that are verified or certified at the field level according to strict standards Sourcing Carnauba? - join us and other buyers in the Initiative for Responsible Carnauba (IRC) to ensure you are taking action to respect people and biodiversity in this crucial supply chain.
