Creating Pork From Jackfruit: How This Whole-Plant Start-Up Is Taking on Asia's Multibillion-Dollar Meat Industry


A meat alternative for Asia
Karana is the
Singapore food start-up positioning itself as Asia's first whole-plant-based meat brand. Its flagship product — a pulled pork substitute — is made entirely from jackfruit, oil and salt, without processed ingredients or preservatives.
Started in 2018 as demand for meat alternatives was growing, Riegler said he saw a gap in the market for meat substitutes designed specifically for Asian cuisines.
"We saw a huge need to identify products that had more local applications for APAC," said Riegler, now 35, who built a career working in agricultural supply chains across Southeast Asia.
"Pork is the number one meat that's consumed in this region and that's where we didn't see a lot of products really addressing a need."
