Unilever wants to achieve a turnover of at least 1 billion euro within five to seven years with vegetable alternatives to meat and dairy. The multinational expects an explosive growth of the market.

Fast food chain Burger King is going to bring two plant-based burgers to market throughout Europe: the 'Rebel Whopper' and the 'Rebel Chicken King'.
Meat alternatives are an as yet underdeveloped but very promising category: according to a new study, this segment could make up for ten precent of the worldwide meat market within ten years, meaning a turnover of 125 billion euros - ten times what it is today.
Fast food chain Burger King opened its first official Belgian store in Antwerp today. Several Belgian Quick restaurants will be transformed into a Burger King, but both chains will co-exist.
