What EAYNI GIDA does

EAYNI GIDA is a Turkish food technology company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Mersin, Turkey, specializing in textured vegetable protein (TVP) and pea protein ingredients. The company manufactures the Eaynı® branded product family, which includes three textured vegetable protein variants — B60K (fine cut), B60G (granular), and B60P (large piece) — each at 60% protein content and derived from yellow pea (sarı bezelye) and wheat gluten. The portfolio extends to pea protein concentrate (HerbaPRO YP55, 55% protein) and pea protein isolate (UNIPEA 80 EM, 80-83% protein), targeting industrial applications in plant-based meat alternatives, dairy, snacks, and meat extension.

The company's underlying technology is proprietary textured vegetable protein production, with formulations developed in collaboration with academic and scientific institutions. The facility carries an annual production capacity of 900 tons and holds FSC 22000, Halal, Kosher, and Vegan certifications. The company operates from a single headquarters location in Mersin, strategically positioned near Mersin port to support future export operations.

EAYNI GIDA runs a dual go-to-market model. B2C revenue is generated through direct e-commerce sales of Eaynı® Bitkisel Yemeklik (fine and coarse cut consumer products) via the company website, targeted at vegan and health-conscious consumers. B2B revenue is generated through direct field sales of industrial-grade TVP and protein ingredients to food manufacturers, supported by recipe and solution services developed with chefs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; industrial buyers are directed to contact the company directly for quotations. The company has 6 employees and no disclosed revenue, funding, or ownership structure.

Broad incumbents

• Roquette: Global leader in plant-based ingredients with the world's largest pea protein facility (Vic-sur-Aisne, France). Comparable as a major supplier of textured pea proteins and protein isolates/concentrates to food manufacturers worldwide — the dominant force EAYNI competes against for industrial B2B contracts.
• Ingredion: US-based specialty ingredient supplier with a growing plant-based protein portfolio (Vitessence® and PURITY P® pea proteins). Competes in the same B2B ingredient space and serves overlapping food manufacturer customers with similar functional benefits.
• ADM: Global ingredient and agricultural processor with an expanding plant protein portfolio (including pea-based proteins through partnerships and acquisitions). Comparable as a broad-based B2B supplier with global reach and customer relationships across the food manufacturing ecosystem.
• Cargill: Global agricultural giant that acquired PURIS (the largest North American pea protein producer) in 2022. Competes through both broad ingredient portfolio and dedicated pea protein capacity, representing the kind of well-capitalized incumbent that could pressure EAYNI's pricing in any market.

Direct peers

• Cosucra: Belgian specialist in pea protein ingredients (Pisane® range of isolates and concentrates). Direct comparable as a focused pea protein supplier serving food manufacturers with similar B2B value proposition in the European and global ingredient markets.
• Axiom Foods: US-based specialist plant protein ingredients supplier focused on pea, rice, and mung bean proteins including textured variants (OvaTXA textured pea protein). Comparable as a focused, ingredient-only supplier serving vegan and plant-based food manufacturers globally.
• Shandong Yuwang Industrial: Large Chinese producer of soy and plant-based protein ingredients including textured vegetable protein for global export. Comparable as a scale TVP producer competing in the same B2B ingredient markets, particularly across Asia, MENA, and emerging markets.
• Shandong Wonderful Industrial Group: Major Chinese manufacturer of TVP, plant-based proteins, and related food ingredients with extensive export footprint to MENA and emerging markets. Comparable as a direct textured protein competitor with similar multi-format product approach and price-competitive positioning.
• Yantai Shuangta Food: Chinese pea protein concentrate and isolate manufacturer serving food and beverage industries worldwide. Comparable as a focused pea protein ingredient supplier offering similar functional ingredient formats (concentrates and isolates) for industrial customers.

Emerging players

• Burcon NutraScience: Canadian pea, canola, and sunflower protein ingredient technology company with patented extraction processes. Comparable as a focused plant protein ingredient technology company, though smaller scale and more R&D-stage than EAYNI's commercially operating plant.
