ADM and REDSTAR LLC Expand Distribution of NeoVita® 43 Biostimulant Under New REDVITA 43 Brand

•    REDSTAR to sell REDVITA 43 through agricultural retailers and direct sales channels across the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions
•    Proven NeoVita® 43 formula remains unchanged, delivering consistent agronomic performance 

CHICAGO — ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, and REDSTAR LLC, a trusted partner in agricultural success, have entered into a distribution agreement to expand access to NeoVita® 43, a sugar-based biostimulant designed to support soil microbial activity and enhance crop productivity.

Through the new collaboration, REDSTAR will manufacture and sell NeoVita® 43 as 'REDVITA 43,' leveraging its established network of agricultural retailers and grower relationships to expand access to the proven biostimulant technology. The partnership covers the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions.

REDVITA 43 is an agricultural biostimulant that boosts corn yields by improving nutrient use efficiency. It is formulated to closely mimic the plant root exudate that supports soil microbial activity. By increasing the availability of key nutrients early in the growing season, the product enhances plant nutrient uptake, promotes stronger early season growth, and can help maximize yield potential. In multiyear trials hosted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the product plus a liquid starter fertilizer increased corn yields up to seven bushels/acre versus starter fertilizer alone. REDVITA 43 is the same formulation that has been sold by ADM as NeoVita® 43, with no changes to product composition or performance.

"REDSTAR LLC is committed to solutions that enhance soil health and productivity, and we're proud to bring REDVITA 43 to new customers across the Midwest," said REDSTAR LLC commercial director Tom Stanton. "REDVITA 43 has already made a real difference for many farmers by helping improve nutrient availability and fertilizer-use efficiency, and we look forward to expanding access across our full network."

"Our farmer partners saw great results with NeoVita® 43, and we're excited to work with REDSTAR to make this product available to even more growers," said ADM sales manager Ashley Duehn. "For more than 120 years, ADM has worked hand-in-hand with farmers to unlock value from every acre, and we look forward to continuing to develop new and innovative agricultural products to support their businesses."
 
REDVITA 43 can be applied with liquid starter fertilizer at planting, and it can be applied foliar to help improve both herbicide efficacy and provide quick energy for crops. REDVITA 43 does not require additional mixing or special handling. It will be available in bulk and tote formats, providing flexibility to meet diverse customer needs.
