PLANT BASED FOODS OPPORTUNITY • In terms of the environment, dairy and cattle farms are responsible for alarming rates of air and water pollution, • Excrements leaching into our groundwater and contaminating precious freshwater supplies • Gases emitted from them (particularly, methane) are more harmful than carbon dioxide; • Industrialized animal agriculture contributing to more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector combined. • Pollution from dairy and cattle farms is such a serious problem a recent study revealed they are even worse for the environment than giant fossil fuel extractors like Exxon and Shell!

PLANT BASED MARKET IS GOWING MAINSTREAM • A major concern about meat and dairy consumption is the carbon footprint and a potential negative change in the climate. • With decreasing interest in animal meat and demand in dairy, AME repositioned itself into better for you – plant based ingredients. • The plant based foods market is now over $USD 3. 5 B in sales. Overall growth is over 8 -10%

PLANT BASED MARKET IS GOWING MAINSTREAM • A growing number of consumers are adopting flexitarianism whose protein intake is dependent on sustainable sources like plant-based foods and drastically reducing the consumption of dairy and meat in their diet. • This trend is being backed by food manufacturers supporting the growth of substitute products. • Protein Food Manufacturers are striving to develop plant-based products which offer familiar texture and taste attributes with the help of advanced food technology.

PLANT BASED POULTRY OPPORTUNITY • From Chicken patties to nuggets, Chicken meat consumption in the USA is almost DOUBLE that of Beef according to the statistics released by the National Chicken Council. • There is a real opportunity in this sector! And AME have fantastic textured proteins to make it happen: TEXTAPOIS

SEA BASED ALTERNATIVE FOODS

PLANT BASED SEAFOOD OPPORTUNITY • Convenience is really important to the growing number of consumers who seek out non-animal proteins from time to time. A lot of people like salmon, so some retailers are stocking vegan salmon next to the salmon so people have choices, and are able to serve their guests both vegan salmon and regular salmon. Also becoming popular are vegan tuna, vegan shrimp balls, vegan fish fillets and vegan shrimp

SEAFOOD AND FISH ARE IN TROUBLE • Plant based seafood represents the expansion of the megatrend into the seafood market segment, a virtually uncontested space with international impact potential at a time where nearly 90 percent of large predatory fish stocks are depleted, and more than 3 billion people consume marine life as their primary protein source. • Plant based seafood provide the U. S. with sustainable, clean foods. The relentless and indiscriminate killing of marine life is devastating ocean ecosystems. The only truly sustainable seafood is seafood that allows fish to remain in the ocean. It is abundantly clear that we need a new approach to seafood. This is a global concern

SEAFOOD AND FISH ARE IN TROUBLE • A small percentage of the shrimp we eat is wild caught, where giant trawling nets are used that scrape the bottom of the ocean but also pick up porpoise, dolphins, turtles and shark. There is 5 lbs of bycatch for every 1 lb of shrimp – that is not sustainable. • Much of the shrimp we eat comes from farms in tropical regions where problems from slave labor, food safety and environmental issues are frequently reported. Shrimp farming has contributed to destruction of mangrove forests and wetlands to make way to pollution from organic waste, chemicals and antibiotics.

AME PLANT BASED CLEAN SWEETENERS • We are expanding into the plant based, clean sweeteners: • Carolina sweet: clear, amber. 100% pure sweet potato. Used to replace HFCS and sugar in foods. More nutritious. • Agave granulate. • Coconut granulate.

AME PLANT BASED CLEAN MILK AND DAIRY FAT ALTERNATIVES • We propose a plant based alternative to non fat dry milk: Coconut milk powder. • And Coconut cream.

AME and COCONUT • Why Coconut? • Creamed and Milk Coconut powders are made in very similar fashion to the dairy counterparts – and can be used to replace dairy powders without a lot of reformulation. • Coconut provides 40% fat vs 26% for Whole Milk powder or none for skim milk powder. So, the customer can cut down on other sources of fat in their formulations.

AME and COCONUT • Coconut powders are ideal for uses in thick products such as: cream soups, smoothies, ice cream, puddings, sauces and milkshakes. • Coconut milk, being non dairy, is lactose free. • The coconut fat is in the form of medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCFA’s) – in particular Lauric Acid; which is converted in the body into a highly beneficial compound called monolaurin, an antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial that destroys a wide variety of disease causing organisms. Therefore, its consumption may help protect the body from infections and viruses.

AME and COCONUT • Coconut milk powder is great as it binds spices better • Coconut milk has a rich flavor and adds a delicious tropical flavor. • Coconut contains potassium (diuretic), phosphorous (energizing), selenium (powerful antioxidant) and chromium (helps regulate blood sugar levels).
