The four all new proprietary formulations include aquaculture feed for shrimp, feed for livestock, granular fertilisers and foliar spray. Commercial trials are on-going and initial stevia harvests using the formulations are anticipated for Q2 2012.
Stevia Corp will be arranging for additional testing and validation of the overall benefits of the formulations with the participation of US institutes in order to provide further credibility to the already extensive research underway in Asia.
George Blankenbaker, Stevia Corp president, said: “This is an exciting milestone for the company. Not only does this enable us to vertically integrate all the way from farm to value add product, but it opens up an entirely new market and near-term revenue opportunities while maintaining a focus on our core competencies.”
