- Stevia Nutra Corp (STNT) is a development-stage company focused on the cultivation, development, and post-harvest processing of stevia plants for use as a natural zero-calorie sweetener; it also engages in growing hemp for sweeteners, extracts, and related nutraceutical products. The company produces stevia-based sweeteners derived from stevia plants indigenous to Paraguay, alongside hemp-derived products targeting the nutraceutical and natural ingredients markets; operations include agreements for land leases spanning 20 hectares in Kampong Speu province, Cambodia, with plans for large-scale plantations, R&D investment, and IP acquisition in high-value stevia and hemp extracts. Founded in 2010 and headquartered at 37 Bannisters Road, Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada A2H 1M5, Stevia Nutra Corp formerly operated as AAA Best Car Rental Inc. prior to its name change in March 2012; it primarily contracts with third-party growers and co-packers for production while serving wholesale clients in food, beverage, and health sectors across North America and international markets. Recent developments include the 2021 acquisition of Shark Tank-featured Muff Waders, a hemp-based apparel brand that tripled orders post-exposure and generated over $250,000 in initial sales, signaling a strategic expansion into hemp byproducts and waste management initiatives; the company also pursued acquisitions such as New Earth Development Corporation for $26.3 million and strategic agro-development partnerships to bolster stevia production capabilities.
