Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. announced the Company's entry into the Texas market with its first customer. The grower, who is based in Hardin County, Texas, will use BVT's natural precision agriculture system for bumblebees on blueberry and strawberry crops. After deploying the BVT system for the first time last year, the customer has more than tripled his order for this year's growing season.

BVT is becoming increasingly well-known within the American agriculture industry, with a reputation that's building quickly through word of mouth. The Texas grower initially heard of BVT from another grower in Florida who is using the Company's natural precision agriculture system ­ and is sharing the benefits of the system with growers in his own area. The Texas customer's approach reflects a growing trend across BVT's US market: they are seeing increasing interest for bulk orders from a single grower that are then shared between a collective of farmers in an area, with one of them becoming an informal distributor for all the others.

Texas grows an estimated 400 acres of strawberries and 700 acres of blueberries. Most large commercial producers in the state for strawberries grow their crop on 7-12 acres, while smaller operations start at 1,000 plants and go up to 3 acres.
