298. Maizly’s Tim Leclercq on corn-based milk, flexitarian consumers + collaborating with farmers

The rise in alternative foods has become a growth driver for the food industry at large and has created new opportunities for innovators and consumers to experience new foods, alike. This week, we are joined by Maizly CEO, Tim Leclercq, to talk about the most abundant crop in the world being transformed into a new drink: corn-based milk. 


From taste to mouth feel, Tim gets into Maizly’s differentiated product and functionality. He also talks about its environmental impact versus other milk alternatives and Maizly’s commitment to sustainability – from product creation to packaging.  


Why milk? And why corn? Maizly’s founding expands well beyond a business getting off the ground. Tim discusses their passion project in Sub-Sarahan Africa, nutrition access for infants as a challenge and their ability to deliver life-saving solutions to young babies.  

As Tim looks ahead at Maizly, the U.S. market is on the horizon; so what’s next? He talks working with corn growers, who is driving the next wave of food innovation (hint: he thinks there is a lot of smaller competitors coming) and when Maizly will hit store shelves and e-commerce sites near you.

The Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast for 5/4/24

C.J. Miller chats with Courtney Kingery, CEO of the Indiana Corn Marketing Council and Indiana Soybean Alliance, about the recent ag trade trips to Brazil, Mexico, and India—all over the past three weeks—as she works to sell more of Indiana’s corn and soybeans to outside markets.

 

Eric Pfeiffer reports how Indiana soybean farmers are also looking for new opportunities to team up with the aquaculture industry.

 

Plus, Brian Basting with Advance Trading discusses two-day rally we saw in the grain markets to end the week.
