Ft. Lauderdale, FL, November 20, 2006 (Market Wire) - Sunwin Stevia International Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: SUWN), a leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and low calorie sweetener (Stevia) in China, announced today that it will commence selling its Only Sweet? line of all natural, zero calorie Stevia as dietary supplements in December 2006.
The company will initially offer its product line over the Internet at http://www.onlysweet.com. An extensive online advertising campaign will be launched in the first week in January to drive traffic to the site and create brand awareness. The campaign initially will be geared to the most highly trafficked web sites that address diabetes, obesity, as well as healthy living life styles.
The company anticipates between 250 and 1,000 outlets offering or contracted to distributeOnly Sweet™ line of Stevia by the end of March 2007. The reason for the wide range in the number of outlets is attributed to the timing that various groceries and other outlets purchase our category during the year.
Our research indicates that there are currently thousands of outlets in a wide variety of distribution channels currently selling Stevia products. The company is currently in negotiations with some of the largest food brokers and distributors in the U.S. to place our Only Sweet™ line of Stevia in major grocery chains, vitamin shops, and drug stores through out the U.S. The company believes that it has a strong competitive advantage over its competitors in the marketplace with regards to price, quality and taste, due to its parent company, Sunwin International Neutraceuticals (OTCBB. SUWN.), being one of the world¡¯s leading producers of high-quality and high purity Stevia. Our competitors are buying from a wide variety of producers based on price, and the lack of consistency of quality and purity will not be an issue with the "Only Sweet"™ product line of Stevia.
Steven Silbert, Executive Vice President of Sunwin Stevia International Corp., stated, "We are highly encouraged by the acceptance of Stevia as a healthy alternative as a dietary supplement to other alternative sweeteners currently available. American consumers are more than ever before, looking into consuming products that provide them with all natural, zero to low calories and low to zero glycemic alternatives that provide them with healthy living choices. There are millions of Stevia consumers worldwide and the U.S. consumers are becoming aware of the significant benefits of utilizing Stevia in their daily diet. We are also very encouraged by the recent trend of the largest grocery chains in the U.S. to offer what was previously considered "Green Products" in the mainstream isles of their stores. We anticipate that in 2008 we will have several thousand outlets selling our Only Sweet™ line of Stevia in the U.S."
