Subash Alias Discusses Missouri’s Thriving Food Processing Sector
- June 01, 2023
Earlier this year, Missouri Partnership CEO, Subash Alias, sat down with Expansion Solutions Magazine to discuss the enduring strength of the food processing sector, projected to hit $235.67 billion by 2028.

These unique circumstances have created an opportunity for Missouri to shine as a state that can offer solutions to nationwide supply chain, workforce, and inflation challenges in recent years. Despite the pandemic, Missouri welcomed investments exceeding $1 billion in the food and beverage industry throughout the state.
