Similar to what we saw in the United States, more and more households are recognizing the benefits that come from incorporating tasty, healthy and low-processed plant-based options into their diets. Over the past years our brand has become more and more recognizable, making it easier for us to get into retailers and distributors alike and over the coming period we expect to be on a lot more shelves making our need for a production facility for Snacks from the Sun in Canada a logical step in the near future.
