"Our growth continues to progress quarter after quarter" states Rob Harrison President and CEO, Global Gardens Group Inc.  Mr. Harrison adds, "Demand for Veggemo continues to grow.  This growth has been fuelled by customer demand and increased brand awareness.  We have invested into three critical marketing platforms to reach targeted consumers where they are.  This includes investment into social and digital media, targeted sampling and at key consumer and industry trade shows in the U.S., Canada and China."

Mr.  Harrison also emphasises that these estimated sales numbers represent the Veggemo shelf stable products sold in retail stores and through various e-commerce platforms only and this segment is approximately 20% of the overall non-dairy beverage category volume.  The refrigerated product segment sold in the dairy cases of grocery stores represents about 80% of category volume and Global Gardens Group is targeting its Veggemo launch in this segment in early 2019.

Today Veggemo can be found in approximately 5000 retail outlets.
