Organto Adds Organic Green Asparagus to Product Offering and Further Expands Supply Platform

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V: OGO, OTC: OGOFF) (“Organto”), a leading vertically integrated provider of value-added branded organic vegetables, today announced that it has added to its supply base with the addition of a new strategic supply partner located in Peru.  Under the terms of the exclusive long-term agreement, initial product supply will commence in mid-November with the delivery of organic green asparagus. 

“We are very pleased to have expanded our supply of products from this important supply region, and also pleased to add organic green asparagus to our line-up of value-added organic vegetable products.” commented Arnoud Maas, Chief Executive Officer of Organto.  “We are excited to work this new strategic supply partner and look forward to expanding our supply relationship in 2018 and beyond in both organic green asparagus and other products as we continue to build out our vertically integrated business model.”

The addition of organic green asparagus to Organto’s current product offering of value-added organic green beans, organic snow peas and organic sugar snaps, is in response to customer interest in an expanded product offering driven by expected market demand.  The new organic green asparagus product offering is expected to be distributed in bunches and trays under the Organto “I am Organic” brand, and also in private label format.  Initially approximately 25 hectares of organic green asparagus will be under cultivation, and Organto intends on continuing to build supply of this product in order to complete a global year-round supply platform.
