The US company is partnering with state-backed Doha Venture Capital and the Qatar Free Zones Authority to build the large-scale plant
Eat Just, a San Francisco-based start-up making cultured chicken and vegan eggs, plans to build a commercial facility in Qatar to produce cell-based meat as it looks to expand into new markets overseas.
The new facility will be significantly larger than the one Eat Just uses to produce in Singapore, which recently became the first country to approve the sale of cell-based chicken. Cultured meat, which is grown from cells instead of slaughtering live animals, could become a $25bn industry by 2030, according to a recent report by McKinsey.
The company chose Qatar in part because of its openness to cultured meat and desire to find innovative, long-term solutions to food security, he said. It also gives Eat Just a foothold in the Middle East and North Africa region, potentially allowing for future exports to areas such as Western Europe.
