The upgrade will enable the site to shift from lower-protein sunflower meal to high- and super-high-protein variants, strengthening the regional supply of plant-based protein for feed manufacturers.

The Irish-funded research will examine how such additives perform across different production stages, providing long-term data on effectiveness and potential scalability.

The exhibition is expected to attract over 600 exhibitors from 40 countries, including 12 country pavilions, and more than 20,000 visitors.
