It’s pretty typical for a new product’s development to be inefficient until the processes are scaled, I wouldn’t read into it too much at the moment. Process improvements are happening at a ridiculously quick rate in this field; we’re talking on a weekly to monthly basis.

Keep in mind, too, that animal ag has a lot more money behind it than these folks, and similar to the oil companies they’re going to be spending buckets to slow the transition.

I scrolled through the link but didn't find anything related to the costs/price. I remember the first burger made of cultivated meat costing something like 100k USD(?). Do you have any idea where we are today?
