A couple of things: US sugar has been historically higher than the price of world sugar. Brazilian cane syrup is the cheapest of all. google.com Stevia consumption is growing and is projected to continue to grow. google.com "I wonder if new hybrid stevia seeds/plants could help increase the efficiency in this fermentation process." The fermentation never uses any form of stevia. Simply put it is cane syrup in to a fermenter with genetically engineered yeast and Stevia molecules are the end product. Reb M, the sweetest molecule in the stevia leaf, is 250 times sweeter than sugar so the end product of the fermentation process is roughly the cost of sugar. The enzymes in the yeast are essentially the same enzymes found in the plant. Regarding wheat, I lease wheat land, and I am meeting one of the farmers tomorrow. I will ask about drought resistant seeds. You might look at Rubicon Ltd. RUBNF. I own a small position. This year they purchased a 100 percent ownership position in ArborGen. arborgen.com Rubicon is a New Zealand company that trades by appt. on the pink sheets. Arborgen is world leader in the development of tree seedlings. bloomberg.com
