ForeverGreen Announces Accelerated Growth In Europe And Asia

 
ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (FVRG) announced that growth is accelerating in several geographic regions, especially Europe and Asia.
“Several key indicators for Europe are trending strongly upward during the last several months.

Total European sales have also grown significantly during this same time frame and now represent 36% of the companies’ overall sales. I firmly believe that ForeverGreen Europe is positioned to continue its growth both in terms of sales and customer retention.
