Yesterday, specialists from the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency held an introductory meeting with a representative of an Indian pea deep processing company.

So, entrepreneurs from India said that when processing peas, it is possible to obtain pea protein containing 88% protein, which is used in food production and in raw materials for feed production. Starch and flour are also obtained from peas, which are actively used in cooking and cosmetology.

During the business meeting, the businessmen discussed potential markets for their products, reviewed the proposed territories for the project, and learned about possible government support measures for investors.

In the future, a number of negotiations are planned, where the possibilities of implementing an investment project for deep processing of peas in the Omsk region will be discussed in more detail. The processing company from India also brought with it a trial batch of pea starch samples as part of another major investment project for the production of asparagus and noodles, funchosa. The project is being supported by the Agency's specialists, the initiator of the project is the investor VITO LLC," the Agency for Development and Investment said.
