Asia Biologicals Platform Takes Aim at Adoption and Market Gaps
Biologicals have long promised a more sustainable and regenerative future for our food systems, but in Southeast Asia, they’ve struggled to reach scale and adoption. Today, a new regional initiative, the Asia Biologicals Platform, is being introduced to change that. The initiative begins with an open call to industry and will build toward a dedicated industry forum, the Asia Biologicals Symposium, on 3 November 2025, where stakeholders will align priorities, surface opportunities, and co-develop a regional effort reflective of Southeast Asia’s unique farming systems. Placeholder image from Stitch/Pexels royalty-free image source The Asia Biologicals Platform is a multi-year effort to address long-standing barriers in the development, validation and uptake of biological agri-inputs. It brings together innovators, growers, researchers, funders, regulators and platforms to help unlock the potential of biologicals to support a more restorative, climate-resilient farming system that is tailored to the needs of Southeast Asia’s diverse and dynamic agriculture sector. “We’ve built momentum in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, now it’s time to localise and scale this across Asia. The Asia Biologicals Platform brings the shared infrastructure we need to fast-track adoption, align regulations, and unlock growth for a new class of agri-inputs.” — Peter Wren-Hilton, Founder, Wharf42 and the Salinas Biologicals Summit The initiative draws from the successful Platform10 model, which has facilitated crop-specific field trials through multi-stakeholder partnerships. This new effort will adapt the approach in Southeast Asia, launching collaborative, pre-commercial trials across priority crops and regions—creating a pipeline of data-backed, market-ready solutions. “We want to connect innovators to Asia’s crop challenges, work with funders and governments to support field-based projects that deliver measurable outcomes and drive farmer adoption of biologicals at scale. Through science, partnerships, and real-world trials, we want to move beyond pilot fatigue and deliver real outcomes for farmers and ecosystems.” — Joshua Soo, CEO of Agrifood Futures. “This is about turning good science into real-world change. By generating data-backed evidence and deep regional insight, we can help farmers adopt biologicals and cleaner technologies with confidence—lifting both profitability and sustainability.” —Dr Christine Pitt, Managing Director of Farmers2Founders. Join the Dialogue – Help Shape the Asia Biologicals Platform Further details will be shared at the Asia Biologicals Symposium during Singapore International Agrifood Week. In the lead-up, the founding team will continue engaging with industry to align priorities and shape early initiatives. The Symposium will gather stakeholders from across the value chain to collaborate in a pre-competitive setting–mapping shared trials, regulatory strategies, adoption pathways, and regionally relevant projects designed to achieve broad goals such as: Deploy cleaner tech on farms : Prove and scale biologicals that reduce toxicity, restore soil and planet health Match innovation to real situational challenges : Focus portfolio offerings on crop-specific needs across Southeast Asia’s farming systems Enable farmer-first adoption : Design pilot trials, farmer adoption and engagement strategies to drive uptake Unlock investments and blended capital : Provide data, field validation, and regulatory alignment to de-risk investment and support joint-up investments and partnerships Be Part of Building Asia’s Biologicals Future The Asia Biologicals Platform is being shaped now and is spearheaded by Wharf42, Agrifood Futures and Farmers2Founders—who are joining forces to bring together complementary expertise in biological trials, commercialisation and farmer engagement to build a platform tailored to Asia’s needs and opportunities. Whether you’re building, testing, investing in, or supporting biological solutions—we invite you to join us in co-creating a platform at the: Asia Biological Symposium 3 November 2025 | Singapore International Agrifood Week (SIAW) Register to receive more information: https://airtable.com/app8UaB3AviDdGGxf/pagJgVrLTb8Epeiiz/form About Agrifood Futures | We are a global agrifoodtech specialist based in Singapore, building resilient, climate-ready food systems.

The global ready meals market growth is set for sustained growth as consumers increasingly adopt convenient meal solutions that balance taste, nutrition, and accessibility. The market’s stability is supported by advances in food preservation technologies, eco-friendly packaging, and the rising popularity of plant-based alternatives. The industry continues to benefit from changing lifestyles, busy work schedules, and the demand for convenient food formats. Innovations such as high-pressure processing, intelligent packaging, and nanotechnology are extending shelf life while ensuring food safety and nutritional value. These advancements are enabling manufacturers to compete in premium segments where freshness and quality are critical. Click here for more insights on the Ready Meals Market - https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/ready-meals-market?utm_source=marketersmedia Key Ready Meals Market Trends Technological Advancements in Preservation Cutting-edge preservation methods such as high-pressure processing, modified atmosphere packaging, and freeze-drying are transforming ready meals. Intelligent packaging systems now monitor freshness, helping reduce food waste and boosting consumer trust. Sustainability in Packaging The market is shifting toward biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable packaging solutions, influenced by consumer demand and stricter regulations. Brands are adopting paper-fiber trays and lightweight packaging formats to reduce environmental impact without compromising convenience. Rise of Plant-Based and Alternative Proteins Growing demand for healthier and sustainable diets is fueling plant-based ready meals. Manufacturers are innovating with pea, chickpea, and rice proteins, while global players are expanding into plant-based frozen bowls and international dishes to meet vegan and flexitarian preferences. Challenges in Premium Products Premium ready meals face hurdles due to shorter shelf lives and higher preservation costs. Natural, minimally processed products are popular but often restricted in distribution due to spoilage risks, creating challenges for smaller producers. Competition from Fresh and Home-Cooked Meals Meal-prep services, culinary platforms, and rising health consciousness are pushing consumers toward fresh home-cooked alternatives. While ready meals offer unmatched convenience, fresh cooking remains a strong competitor in terms of nutrition and customization. Ready Meals Market Segment Insights By Product Type – Frozen meals lead due to extended shelf life and improved freezing technology. Chilled meals appeal with freshness, while shelf-stable and freeze-dried products serve niche markets. By Ingredient – Conventional products dominate, but “free-from” meals (gluten-free, dairy-free, preservative-free) are gaining traction among health-conscious consumers. By Distribution Channel – Supermarkets remain key, but online retail is rapidly disrupting traditional sales through quick commerce and improved cold chain logistics. By Category – Non-vegetarian products lead the market, yet vegetarian and plant-based meals are expanding quickly, driven by environmental and health considerations. Ready Meals Market Regional Highlights North America – Leads the market due to mature cold chain infrastructure and high consumer acceptance of convenience foods. Asia-Pacific – Fastest-growing region, fueled by urbanization, rising incomes, and evolving dietary habits. Europe – Strong focus on sustainability, clean-label products, and strict food safety standards. Other Regions – Emerging opportunities in South America, the Middle East, and Africa, though logistics challenges persist. Ready Meals Industry Competitive Landscape The market is moderately fragmented, with global players like Nestlé S.A., Conagra Brands Inc, The Kraft Heinz Company, Nomad Foods Limited, and Tyson Foods Inc. competing alongside regional specialists. Innovation in preservation methods, packaging, and clean-label offerings is central to market differentiation. Companies are also prioritizing sustainability, ranging from carbon-neutral frozen meals to recyclable packaging, while expanding plant-based portfolios to address growing consumer demand for healthier, environmentally responsible convenience foods.

Qargo Coffee Is Emerging As More Than a Coffee Brand
Qargo Coffee isn’t just about great coffee—it’s about creating meaningful moments, building community, and reimagining what a modern coffee brand can be. Since day one, Qargo has been driven by a purpose: to empower the creators and bring coffee back to what it once was—a daily ritual, a reprieve, and a chance to connect with others. Through unique design, thoughtful service, and a deep passion for innovation, it offers a space where ideas flow, connections spark, and everyday experiences are elevated into something extraordinary. What truly sets Qargo apart is its carefully curated menu and regionally inspired drinks, each crafted to reflect local tastes while staying true to the brand’s roots. Founded with a clear vision to blend Italian traditions with the fast pace of American life, it brings together timeless flavor, meaningful design, and a sense of everyday comfort. Every location is intentionally created to feel inviting, warm, modern, and welcoming —encouraging guests to linger, connect, and enjoy coffee the way it was meant to be. Qargo Coffee is built for more than simple exchanges, it’s built for the community. “Qargo represents more than a coffee destination. It’s a reflection of where coffee culture is headed, rooted in craftsmanship, elevated by design, and inspired by the communities it serves.”— Mark Bastorous, Development Manager. As Qargo Coffee grows across the U.S., its vision remains clear: to be a presence in every community, inspiring people to fall back in love with coffee, not as a product but as an experience. It's about quality over quantity, emotion over automation, and creating a place where every detail is crafted with purpose. At a time when many brands are chasing rapid growth, Qargo is building something more intentional: a lifestyle rooted in creativity, culture, and connection. It's a brand that resonates with people who seek authenticity, global inspiration, and meaningful rituals in their daily lives. Rather than following trends, it creates spaces and moments that feel timeless, welcoming everyone to slow down and savor something real. This is only the beginning. With upcoming features exploring Qargo’s exclusive beverage innovations, architectural identity, and franchise support system, the story of Qargo Coffee is just getting started.
