KonaRed Corporation announced it has signed an exclusive supply agreement with biotech discovery researcher and whole food ingredient supply powerhouse VDF FutureCeuticals (VDF FC). The new agreement, under which KonaRed gains full use and protection under VDF FC's global coffee fruit IP platform, greatly strengthens KonaRed's pre-existing relationship with VDF FC. Under the terms of the new agreement, which has a five year term and renews automatically, KonaRed will serve as VDF FC's exclusive supply source for premium US-grown Kona coffee fruit.

VDF FC, in turn, will manufacture and market a line of 100% U.S.-grown coffee fruit-based ingredients, including dried fruit (pulp) and whole cherry powders, juice concentrates, and extracts to the food, beverage, cosmetics, nutritional, and dietary supplement industries.
