Dr. Jianhua Zhu reports

BIONEUTRA GLOBAL CORPORATION'S SUBSIDIARY BIONEUTRA NORTH AMERICA INC SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH PROTEIN INDUSTRIES CANADA AND PARTNERS

Bioneutra Global Corp. has signed master partnership agreement (MPA) through its wholly owned subsidiary, BioNeutra North America Inc. (BNA), with three partners and Protein Industries Canada (PIC). The additional partners on the MPA are Roquette Canada Ltd., Prairie Fava Ltd., and Plant Up Inc. Under this agreement, BNA's portion of the project is $5.7M and is eligible to receive $2.4M back from PIC under the repayable contribution model of the MPA.

Through the MPA, BNA aims to expand its product range by introducing several new products that are derived from pea starch. Pea starch, considered the least valuable byproduct in pea protein production, will be transformed to create innovative and nutritious ingredients. This strategic initiative not only enhances the value of pea starch but also contributes to the overall stability of the plant protein industry.

Dr. Jianhua Zhu, President and CEO of BioNeutra commented, "Through this agreement, BNA is taking the next step in its evolution expanding beyond isomaltooligosaccharides with multiple product families. This necessary step will enable BNA to better support its customers as they develop novel healthy products."

Additionally, BNA will investigate the requirements to build a large-scale production facility in Canada that will utilize large quantities of readily available high quality pea starch. BNA will use this new facility to manufacture high quality healthy food ingredients including VitaFiber(TM) IMO and the new products being scaled up under the MPA with PIC.

Dr. Zhu added, "A new large-scale facility in Canada will propel BioNeutra to the forefront of value-added food ingredients created from starch. We look forward to working with our partners over the next three years on this project."
