Stevia Corp. expand its operations, there are two primary business models available to manage farm operations. The plantation model involves the company controlling the land, assets and workers which requires substantial upfront capital cost but enables rigorous control over operations with potentially higher revenue per farmed acre. The contract farm model embraces arrangements with existing farmers who employ the company's inputs and protocols in order to produce superior crops for the company at previously negotiated contract prices. This second model enables a given company to rapidly scale over extensive areas in those instances where the company is able to efficiently manage operations and implement supervisory control.
