The Asian market is more than ready for alternative feed ingredients, according to Thomas Huot, recently appointed COO at natural gas-based feed alternative producer Calysta.

The company recently gained investment from Chinese feed additives giant Blue Star Adisseo, which chose to partner with the US-based group following the success of Thai Union's deal to start producing commercially farmed shrimp fed on protein produced from natural gas.

Calysta inked a joint venture with Adisseo to produce 20,000 metric tons of the trademarked FeedKind protein on Feb.
