PARAGUAY-STEVIA
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY HUGO OLAZAR
A biochemist works in the quality control of the stevia powder in a stevia processing plant in on October 31, 2014 in Ypacarai, 40km from Asuncion. Following the approval by the U.S. and European health authorities of the natural stevia as a replacement for the chemical sweeteners, Paraguay decided to extend the cultures of the plant, known in Guarani as Ka-a Je-e, from the present 2,000 hectares to 10,000. Stevia sweetens 300 times more than sugar cane and Coca Cola and Pepsi multinational companies have already launched their own new green stevia sodas. AFP PHOTO/Norberto DUARTE
