Technical Analysis ,
The global pandemic has revealed startling flaws in global supply chains across a variety of industries, especially in the world of meat production. Earlier this year, the spread of the virus among workers at meat processing facilities ground production to a halt, leading to smaller supply and higher prices for meat products across the country. Thanks to these seismic shifts in the market, some analysts estimate that U.S. per capita meat consumption won't recover to pre-pandemic levels until 2026. This has given fake meat stocks – companies that focus on alternative, plant-based meat replacement products – a huge opportunity to not only capitalize on the investments they've made in artificial meats, but to invest even more resources into a meatless future.
One company stands out from the rest, and it is Modern Meat Inc. (CSE: MEAT).
About Modern Meat
Modern Meat is an award winning Canadian food company based in Vancouver, British Columbia that offers a portfolio of plant-based meat products. Modern Meat recognizes the importance of providing consumers nutritious and sustainable meat alternatives without sacrificing taste. We are deliberate in choosing ingredients free of soy, gluten, nuts and GMO's. Their mission is to change the way food is produced and consumed for the benefit of people, animals and the environment by using only natural 100% plant-based ingredients.

The Demand For Modern Meat's Products Is Massive

New Facility is Operating at Full Capacity

Since the acquisition of the new facility, the Company has worked to bring its operation up to full capacity. The company has successfully implemented a double shift mandate in order to keep up with demand. The Company has been successful in hiring new staff and providing successful training to improve its gross product production capacity. The facility is currently at maximum capacity of approximately 100,000lbs per annum of all Modern Meat products, and the Company is actively looking for other production facilities and partners to keep up with ongoing demand.

"In order to secure larger accounts, it is key for us to be able to stockpile a certain level of inventory. We are extremely pleased to announce we are taking steps in the right direction. Being in the food industry for over 20 years, I've experienced how hard it can to build a team. Finding likeminded people who want to grow this business and facilitating this change to increase our production has been no small feat." states Kevin Lohnes, the Company's Production Manager.

Modern Meat will be using the extra inventory to target new accounts and national distributors to further increase the outreach of its products. Additionally, Modern Meat will continue to look for added production from other facilities and possible partnerships in preparation for future growth.

"Our production and kitchen staff have done an outstanding job implementing the double shift, but I feel it is just the tip of the iceberg as to where we will be going. I'm very excited about our new ventures and the direction of the Company. We will continue to aggressively look for expansion on the retail, production, and acquisition front." States Tara Haddad CEO and Founder of the Company.

Modern Meat Sells Out 15 Weeks in a Row and Updates New Facility Status

On October 9th , the Company announced that it has sold out of its products for 15 consecutive weeks to retailers and direct to consumer sales. The Company has been pleased with its initial launch of its line of Modern Burger, Crumble, Meatball, Crab Cake and sauces. Modern Meat is seeing demand for its product exceed its current production capacity which is leading to the continuous sell outs. As previously announced, Modern Meat is in process of expanding its production capacity (see press release of August 28, 2020).

"We are pleased to announce that our sellout streak is continuing and there is an obvious demand for our products. Despite the interest in our products we are currently constrained by our production capacity and continuing the set-up of our new facility," stated Tara Haddad, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Adding new machinery, renovations, and staff is a gradual exciting process that our company is excited and pleased to take on. As the Company adjusts to the current facility, it is also seeking additional production expansion."

In its most recent two weeks commencing September 28, 2020 the Company has sold 2,286 lbs of product in its eight current SKUS Modern Burger, Modern Crab Cakes, Modern Crumble, Modern Sliders, Modern Meatballs, Modern Tarragon Remoulade, Modern Burger Sauce and Modern Onion Relish. The Company continues to ramp-up its production capacity by adding new staff and machinery.

Mrs . Haddad added: "Growing pains are typical in explosive growth industries and we feel that we are now in search of reaching higher goals of production than initially set out. When diversifying our portfolio of products from the initial outset we had to reduce the number of burger patties to accommodate production, and due to the sustained overall interest of other products in the portfolio, we will have to grow production across the board. These are very exciting times for the Company and we are looking aggressively to solve this new bottleneck and setup for further expansion."

Protein ‘Shake-Up’ Could Push Faux Meat Market to $240 Billion

The alternative meat market is poised to rise to $240 billion over the next two decades as new technologies gain ground and consumers change their diets, according to Jefferies.

The great “protein shake-up” could see faux meat reach 9% share of the estimated $2.7 trillion global meat market by 2040, analyst Simon Powell forecasts, from less than 1% now. The size of the plant-based meat market has been one of the biggest debates in the food industry recently, with estimates ranging from between $10 billion and $40 billion to as high as $140 billion.

Plant-based meats, like the one produced by Modern Meat Inc, are currently leading the category and could see major growth in the years ahead.

Rising estimates for the faux-meat market are one way to justify the eye-popping valuations for its producers. Beyond Meat , for example, commands a valuation of $9.7 billion, or 110 times its 2018 sales. Its closely-held peer, Impossible Foods Inc. , is valued at $1.52 billion, with revenues estimated at $110m in 2018, according to data compiled by PrivCo.
