SunOpta Inc., the Canadian food manufacturer that processes more organic soybeans in the U.S. than any other company, is poised to increase investor returns as consumers buy more non-genetically modified and organic foods.

SunOpta has surged 46 percent this year, the best return among six food-processing stocks in Canada and almost four times the 10-percent average. Analysts covering Brampton, Ontario-based SunOpta expect the shares to gain 2.9 percent over the next 12 months, according to ratings compiled by Bloomberg.
