Sweet Green Fields, a US-based stevia extracts producer, announced plans to expand its stevia crop in the South-eastern US based on the performance of the crop during the 2012 growing season.
Sweet Green Fields has teamed up with grower partners in Georgia and North Carolina to produce the first commercial stevia crops in Southeast US and is working to boost its supply of American-grown stevia extracts.
With the support of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the company plans to develop and implement sustainable and socially responsible practices, to leverage technologies and uphold its commitments to ensure responsible and sustainable stevia production.
