GFI is a Canadian plant-based food and ingredients company that connects local farms to the supply chain for high protein specialty crops such as peas, beans, lentils, and chickpeas. The private company has four primary business lines, including pea protein inputs, plant-based ingredients, plant-based pet food ingredients, and plant-based consumer packaged goods. GFI buys directly from its network of farmers, processes its products locally at its four wholly-owned processing facilities in western Canada, and ships to 37 countries worldwide. The company's vision is to become a vertically integrated farm-to-fork plant-based company that provides traceable, locally sourced, healthy, and sustainable food and ingredients. GFI offers a full suite of plant-based consumer packaged goods with over 20 SKUs under the Yofiit, Bentilia, and Five Peas in Love brands.
