Beyond Meat Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) shares jumped on Tuesday after the company announced a collaboration with PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) to develop and produce snack and beverage products from plant-based protein.
Together these firms will form the PLANeT Partnership. The joint venture will leverage Beyond Meat’s leading technology in plant-based protein development and Pepsi’s marketing capabilities and network to create and scale new snack and beverage options.
Note that the financial details were not disclosed in this agreement.

Pepsi’s management noted that plant-based proteins represent an exciting growth opportunity for the firm, a new frontier in its efforts to build a more sustainable food system and be a positive force for people and the planet, while meeting consumer demand.
