The debut of the Lay’s Potato Restaurant in Shanghai goes beyond celebrating the intrinsic value of the ingredient; it redefines the entire experience around the “farm-to-table” concept.

The company plans to refine its own output as it seeks a bigger share of the local market.

The new facility includes an application laboratory designed for concept innovation, formulation support, stability testing, and customer training workshops, enabling closer collaboration and faster, locally tailored solutions for product development.

The deal raises SALIC’s ownership in Olam Agri to 80.01% and moves the business closer to full acquisition within three years.

The new site raises local demand for canola and links farmers to food and fuel markets worldwide.
