"Our latest results in stevia crop yield equates to lower overall supply chain cost and enables SGF to offer customers products," shared Dean Francis, Chief Executive Officer of SGF. "As anticipated by many customers, the pricing structure of Reb-A would become much more competitive to once the crop efficiency was developed; we have now achieved this efficiency, and it is great to be leading the way on this very important part of the supply chain."
