Burcon NutraScience Corporation announced that, due to overwhelming customer demand, it has entered into a production agreement with its partner manufacturer to bring the world's first high purity 95% hempseed protein isolate to market. Under the terms of the agreement, Burcon will combine its proprietary equipment with the existing infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities of its contract partner to commercially produce the innovative hempseed protein isolate. The company expects to complete the process validation trials and begin commercial production in early 2024.

This strategic collaboration is a capital-light approach expected to rapidly bring hempseed protein to market to meet the increasing demand for this exceptional high purity protein ingredient.
