By all accounts Sabra Dipping Co. — a joint venture between PepsiCo Inc. and the Israeli Strauss Group Ltd — has been having a good year in the U.S. The company is currently the leading hummus manufacturer in the United States, claiming approximately 60 percent of the market, according to the market research firm Information Resources, Inc. They also recently announced an $86 million expansion to their Richmond plant to meet new demand, and have been cultivating efforts to create a supply of chickpeas in the U.S.
