Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. announced that the Company has entered into collaboration with two major distributors in Northwest Washington, which is one of the large blueberry producing regions in the United States. These two collaborations will play a pivotal role in the Company's strategy to gain significant momentum in sales and business development in this key blueberry producing region. That news comes on the heels of BVT signing its first grower customer in the region in April, which is one of the area's biggest and most influential players.

Northwest Washington has over 7,800 acres of blueberries under cultivation, compromising nearly half of the entire state's estimated 16,700 blueberry acres. In the 2022 British Columbia trials, Monilinia (mummy berry) disease incidence dropped between 45.7% and 77.7 % with BVT compared to an untreated site. The system's effect on Botrytis (gray mold) had similar results, with 58.3% to 68.8% decreases in disease incidence.
