Almendra Pte.Ltd

Almendra is a profitable, fast-growing manufacturer of stevia-based natural sweeteners which we sell B2B to the food and beverage industry. Our expertise extends beyond sweeteners to innovative agricultural technologies.

We hold global & Australian patents (US 10849280B2) for “rigs for illuminating fields and methods of illuminating plants,” which significantly improve crop yields by utilising the plants photoperiodic responses.

Traditionally, artificial lighting for optimising plant growth has been limited to high-value crops in greenhouses. Open field application was impractical and costly. LED lighting costs have dropped significantly in recent years changing the business model for augmented crop lighting in open fields, via irrigation rigs. We aim to partner with AgTech communities in the US, Australia, and other regions to deploy our technology across diverse growing conditions.

Our technology is backed by five years of successful field trials (stevia) and significant yield improvements, making it a viable solution for large-scale agriculture.

We seek to form exclusive licensing agreements with partners with potential revenue sharing from increased crop yields. Together we would trial and implement our innovation.

Our goal is to bring proven agricultural benefits to farmers globally. Crops that have known photoperiodic responses and potential for yield increases include : soy, sugarcane, corn, rice, hops, ginger, turmeric, greenhouse crops & floriculture etc.
