Stevia Nutra Corp Establishes Major Cambodian Agriculture Companies
5/24/2012
Stevia Nutra Corporation (OTC:BB STNT)–(The Company),an Agro-Management company focused on stevia agronomics,is pleased to announce that it has incorporated Health Power Trading Company Ltd.,a wholly owned BVI subsidiary company and Mighty Mekong Agro Industries Co. Ltd.,a Cambodian based wholly owned subsidiary.
This strategic move by Stevia Nutra will allow the Company to capitalize on significant labour and technical advantages as well as provide access to prime fertile lands in pursuing stevia agriculture,cultivation and processing in Cambodia and potentially elsewhere in the Mekong River Sub-Region,an area which is ideal for the growth of stevia plants.
With access to clean water and transport routes,this innovative plantation model will allow the Company to reduce labour costs and consistently deliver high quality Stevia leaf from a single site. This is in stark contrast to traditional growers and contract farmers that most of the sector currently employs. In addition,due to favourable climatic conditions, the company expects to enjoy multiple harvests per year,which will significantly increase the annual yields of stevia leaf per hectare.
“With soaring demand for stevia and stevia products globally,the addition of these companies will be significant to our operations in Cambodia,” said President,Brian Dicks. “We will be in a position to capitalise on the optimal growing and production conditions the country has to offer,resulting in superior quality and increased yields."
Mr. Dicks goes on to state,“It is because of Cambodia’s long growing season,climate, eager agro-labour market and strong support from the Cambodian Government at all levels for new agro investments that we made our decision to designate Cambodia the Company’s technical and cultivation hub. All of these factors taken together will give us a solid competitive advantage in the stevia sector and ultimately enhance shareholder value.”

Stevia and the stevia sector
Stevia is the world’s only all natural zero calorie sweetener. Since being approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration late in 2008,stevia can now be found in over 6,000 food,beverage and medicine products,with many more new products to follow as globally consumers are making healthier food choices.
Stevia is the fastest growing sweetener product in the world. The World Health Organization estimates that stevia will replace up to 20% of the global sweetener market valued at over $10 Billion USD. Zenith International expects that stevia agriculture production will have to triple within two years to keep up with the strong demand. Only one year after FDA approval in the U.S.,stevia sales surged past both aspartame and saccharin in the tabletop sugar market.
