Wide Open Agriculture Ltd. ( (AU:WOA) ) just unveiled an update.

Wide Open Agriculture has appointed experienced B2B food ingredients executive Craig Swan as CEO to lead its next phase of commercial growth and scale its lupin platform more capital-efficiently. The company is shifting from foundation-building to optimising the economics of its lupin protein, oil and fibre business, including exploring a capital-light contract manufacturing model, reducing production at its German plant, increasing toll manufacturing revenue and conducting technical trials to lower production costs, while a recent A$1.69 million R&D tax rebate has strengthened its balance sheet.

Customer interest in WOA’s lupin protein isolate remains strong, with active efforts to convert this demand into long-term supply agreements that could underpin future revenue growth. Non-material lupin oil sales and early discussions on longer-term toll manufacturing arrangements demonstrate momentum toward a whole-of-seed monetisation strategy and a more scalable, capital-efficient manufacturing footprint, which may enhance margins and support the company’s competitive positioning in plant-based ingredients.
