STEV - Stevia Corp.
Stevia Corp. is a Farm Management company with a strong focus on Stevia agronomics from plant breeding to good agricultural practices to post harvest techniques. Stevia Corp. invests heavily in R&D and IP acquisition and manages its own propagation, nursery and plantations as well as provides services to contract growers and other industry growers. Stevia Corp. was founded on the principal of implementing quality agribusiness solutions to maximize the efficient production of Stevia leaf.
Stevia is a perennial plant used for centuries as a natural sweetener in South America. In 2008 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Stevia extract Reb-A for use in the USA. In less than a year, Stevia’s U.S. sales had passed sales figures for saccharine and aspartame. Today, Stevia is found in over 6,000 products including beverages, foods and medicines, and this number is growing rapidly as Stevia heads towards mass commoditization like sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
Our corporate center is located in the US with R&D operations in the US, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia and farm operations in Vietnam and Indonesia and planned operations in the US. The management team has extensive expertise in specialized farm management practices.
Our mission is to be a major grower of Stevia leaf and the global leader in servicing Stevia growers. Our vision is to be the preferred Stevia agri-partner creating global synergies to ensure a sustainable supply of Stevia leaf necessary to fuel the industry.

George S. Blankenbaker
President
Mr. Blankenbaker has been leading the development of high Reb-A Stevia farming in Vietnam, where he imported the Morita variety to trial in 2008 and in 2009 signed a contract to supply stevia leaf to PureCircle, the industry's leading refiner. Mr. Blankenbaker first became involved in commercial agriculture in 2002 when he began working with the Agri-Food Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) to provide strategically important food supplies to Singapore. Prior to that Mr. Blankenbaker co-wrote and co-presented a bid for the U.S. Navy Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) Contract valued at USD $197 million covering three zones of Japan, Singapore, and Diego Garcia. The contract was awarded in 2002 and the Singapore and Diego Garcia portion is currently supported by the Rong-Yao group, a partner company based in Singapore.
During the 1990s Mr. Blankenbaker traded commodities and was an independent consultant and analyst for Standard Chartered Bank and Reuters and was on the implementation team that established Globex in Singapore linking the Singapore International Monetary Exchange with the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Blankenbaker began his career in Singapore in 1990 as a commodities analyst and also established a food import/export company which established itself as the leading importer and distributor of two categories before being merged into current operations. In 1986 Mr. Blankenbaker accompanied the Chairman of the finance department of his University to Asia for six months to study the development of the Asian Financial markets. Mr. Blankenbaker was raised on a farm in Indiana.
