BELVIDERE, NJ, July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today reported that its Vitamins and Supplements products achieved over 30% year-over-year sales growth for the second quarter. The Company expects this growth in Vitamins and Supplements products to have a favorable impact on profitability and cash flow from operations for the second quarter.
Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, commented, "We are extremely pleased with the strong performance of our Vitamins and Supplements products, which we believe demonstrate that these higher-margin products are gaining traction in the market. We believe these results are driven by our integrated marketing strategy designed to increase consumer adoption through a variety of promotional and brand awareness activities. The success of these initiatives is best illustrated by the 30% increase in vitamins and supplements sales over just the past 12 weeks alone.”
"The recent expansion of our product lineup with the addition of two new flavors, ‘Ice Cream Cake’ and ‘Orange Creamsicle,’ introduced late last year, has reinforced our industry reputation as the ‘Flavor Maker.’ Our partnership with Nutracom has been instrumental in our success and we remain committed to pioneering innovative and cutting-edge flavors with them. We are enthusiastic about expanding this partnership by exploring even more creative flavor possibilities that not only set industry trends but also cater to the discerning tastes of our customers,” concluded Kras.
