STEVIA CORP. PROVIDES PROFIT GUIDANCE

COMPANY EXPECTS TO GENERATE FIRST QUARTERLY PROFIT IN 2013

INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwire - Dec 13, 2012) - STEVIA CORP. (OTCQB: STEV)
("Stevia Corp" or the "Company"), a farm management company focused on the
economic development of stevia, the fastest growing product in the alternative
sweetener sector, is pleased to announce the expansion of its commercialization
phase and first major crop harvest expected in Vietnam during first quarter of
2013.

Stevia Corp expects crop harvests in Vietnam to top 1,000 tons by March of 2013.
Based on its forecasted sales price and costs, the Company believes this will
produce more than $2 million of revenue and its first quarterly profit. This
follows the first revenue reported by the Company this year of $112,517 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2012.

George Blankenbaker, Stevia Corp President, comments, "This will again signify
another major milestone achieved well ahead of schedule. This, together with our
joint venture operations in China launched last quarter, will begin a solid
foundation for the company to continue scaling its business model and target
significant revenue and profit growth during calendar year 2013 provided we also
achieve certain capital requirements."

Mr. Blankenbaker also added, "Now that we are well into our commercialization
phase, we also have plans to update our website and provide a picture gallery
and possibly a blog so that the public can more easily track our developments
and experience our growth with us. We are excited about the rapid pace of
developments and believe it is important to involve our shareholders. We expect
to complete the first phase in January, so this is something that our investors
can also be looking forward to for the New Year."
