As COO, McKinney will oversee operations as Local Bounti builds out its premier controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facilities to meet expected robust demand for its living lettuce, herbs and loose leaf lettuce. Local Bounti believes the current Western U.S. market opportunity is approximately $10.6 billion<\/span>, and estimates that the total U.S. market for vegetables and herbs will reach up to $30 billion<\/span> by 2025. <\/p>\n

McKinney has more than two decades of experience in the food industry with a solid record of achievement with domestic and international food companies. He previously served as COO of Fruit Growers Supply (division of Sunkist) where he managed six business verticals a well as all supply chain operations to support 39 packinghouses and thousands of Sunkist growers. Prior to that, he served as CEO of Al Ghurair Foods, where he managed nine business lines with manufacturing operations in four countries in the Middle East<\/span>, including the largest poultry operations and flour mills in the UAE. Previously, he held key executive management roles with Dole Foods, including as President of Dole Packaged Foods Asia, President and Managing Director of Dole Thailand, and earlier in his career held senior global supply chain management positions with Dole for its Europe<\/span>, North America<\/span> and Asia<\/span> operations. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (minor in Chemistry) from California Polytechnic University and an M.B.A. in International Business\/Corporate Finance from Claremont Graduate University<\/span>, Peter F. Drucker Graduate Management Center.<\/p>\n

Under David Vosburg’s<\/span> leadership as Chief Innovation Officer, Local Bounti will invest in three areas of future growth; Product, Genetics and Technology. Local Bounti will grow to between 15 and 25 SKUs by the end of 2022. Local Bounti intends to develop elite genetics which will drive higher yields and exceptional taste, texture and flavor. Finally, Local Bounti intends to grow its Computer Vision and AI\/ML efforts to enhance efficiency in its operations. <\/p>\n

“Mark’s exemplary experience will be a key benefit to Local Bounti’s rapid expansion plans to build out additional CEA facilities, product offerings and revenue while supporting our key financial targets,” said Local Bounti Co-Founder and Co-CEO Craig Hurlbert<\/span>.\u00a0 “His expertise in the food sector is significant domestically and internationally and important as we drive Local Bounti forward in additional regional markets we plan to serve with an advantaged business model, superior unit economics and a product offering that is delighting our retail customers and consumers.”<\/p>\n

“I’m excited to join a leader in the CEA space that is disrupting the status quo of field-grown produce with its proprietary technology and operational know-how to bring the freshest produce to market using a cultivation process that uses far less water and land than conventional agriculture, without herbicides or pesticides,” said Mark McKinney<\/span>. “I look forward to helping Local Bounti maximize its operational efficiencies and unit economics as we grow our facility and market footprint while addressing a true market need for better tasting produce grown sustainably.”<\/p>\n

Leveraging its innovative proprietary modular and scalable building system, which is designed to easily and efficiently replicate its proven indoor farm model, Local Bounti is currently undergoing expansion to increase the capacity of its flagship facility in\u00a0Hamilton, Montana<\/span>, by approximately 140 percent which is expected to be completed and operational by the fourth quarter of 2021 and plans to break ground on additional facilities before the end of this year.
