“Tractor Beverage is thrilled to partner with the World Surf League this summer, introducing flavor-forward beverages that will quench the thirst of a generation craving real, refreshing drinks,” stated Justin Herber, chief brand officer at Tractor Beverage. “Our values align perfectly with the WSL’s focus on bringing the surfing community together through authentic experiences and a shared passion for making a positive impact on the world. Tractor’s dedication to protecting the natural world and waterways through organic farm practices, and our delicious flavor combinations make us a natural fit for supporting the WSL and its events.”
“We are so excited to welcome Tractor Beverage Company to the WSL family. Being able to offer our fans sustainably sourced certified organic beverages is important to the league, and we are very well aligned with this company’s mission. We also have a shared goal of creating memorable experiences that bring people together, and the Wallex US Open of Surfing is the perfect opportunity to do so. This will be an event to remember, and Tractor Beverage Company is a big part of that,” said Cherie Cohen, WSL Chief Revenue Officer.
The Wallex US Open of Surfing presented by Pacifico is the fourth stop on the World Surf League Challenger Series and first stop on the WSL Longboard Tour. During this event, Tractor Beverage will offer samples of its deliciously original organic craft refreshers and organic premium craft sodas in recyclable aluminum cans with BPA-free liners, in line with the WSL’s commitment to sustainability and ocean preservation.
Tractor’s Vendor Village booth will showcase some of the brand’s most popular flavors including Hibiscus, Strawberry Dragonfruit, Mango, Kola Cola, and Cherry Cream. Formulated by Tractor co-founder, organic farmer, and beverage chef Travis Potter, each of these drinks captures the unbounded joy of real whole fruit and perfect organic combinations in every sip, creating a uniquely differentiated choice for Tractor Beverage fans nationwide.
To further mark the festivities, Tractor is encouraging event attendees to capture and share their US Open of Surfing moment from the Tractor booth. One lucky winner will receive two VIP passes to the highly anticipated Malibu Longboard Championship in October.

True Citrus Passes $2M Sales on Grovara Online Marketplace
True Citrus, a category leader thanks to its array of True Lemon and True Lime drink mixes made from simple, non-GMO ingredients and real citrus and citrus-forward, salt-free seasoning blends, grew total revenues by double digits in 2021. The company grew its international sales over 100 percent during that same period, using Grovara’s proprietary wholesale marketplace along with growth Grovara facilitated in Panama and Peru.
Before working with Grovara, True Citrus saw only sporadic global sales, according to the company. Exporting represented a big opportunity, but international orders come with highly specialized and time-consuming workflows, with each country requiring specialized documents, sales strategies, and market-specific label requirements.
True Citrus interviewed multiple international partners and chose Grovara because of its end-to-end, frictionless technology and vetted international network.
“It made perfect sense to find a trusted international partner with experience in what is a much more complex sale than what we were traditionally handling,” said True Citrus CEO Robert Cuddihy.
Despite the pandemic, True Citrus opened five new overseas markets in the last year on the Grovara marketplace, including Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. The company’s powdered soft drink products are particularly popular in warmer climates, while the True Citrus unsweetened offerings have achieved widespread popularity, especially in Asia.
True Citrus is an ideal brand for international distribution, according to Grovara. The products are light, making it easy and cost-efficient to transport. They also have a two-year shelf life and are priced competitively for the international market.
Grovara offers 48 True Citrus products, all made from simple, clean ingredients and real citrus, on its online marketplace. In addition to its low-sugar, low-calorie drink mix line and salt-free seasonings, True Citrus also makes a variety of unsweetened citrus wedge replacements, unsweetened juice mixes for foodservice applications and has a line of products for industrial ingredient applications, most under the brand names of True Lemon and True Lime. The company also boasts lines of popular salt-free seasoning shakers and unsweetened juice mixes.
