DUNAFÖFOLDVÁR, HUNGARY — Pannonia Bio sees great potential in the versatility, resilience and sustainability of barley, convincing the Hungarian company to add to its sprawling biorefinery plant with what it describes as “the world’s first high-capacity production plant for barley protein concentrates.”

“While barley is already known for its role in beverages, like beer, as well as animal feed, we firmly believe in its vast untapped potential as a nutritious and adaptable food source,” said Pavel Kudriavtcev, chief executive officer of Pannonia Bio.
