Pyxus Empowers Growers with New Mobile App

MORRISVILLE, N.C., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pyxus International, Inc. (OTCID: PYYX), a global value-added agricultural company, today announced the launch of Pyxus Alliance™, its proprietary mobile application designed to empower growers to easily input information and manage essential crop-related services through a single, convenient digital platform.

"We are excited to launch the Pyxus Alliance app, marking an industry milestone as the first digital solution of its kind," said Pyxus President and CEO Pieter Sikkel. "This tool will streamline the crop contracting process by allowing growers to self-submit contract-related data. This means growers can spend less time on administrative tasks, shifting the focus to what matters most—the production of high-quality, sustainable and compliant crops."

The initial version of the app also enables growers to request crop inputs, access crop-related information and update personal records, helping reduce reliance on paper documents while increasing grower autonomy.

In preparation for a global rollout, the Company is currently piloting the app with select contracted growers in Brazil. Early feedback from participating growers has been positive, with strong initial interest in the platform.

"With less time spent on administrative tasks, I can focus my efforts on crop management, quality and productivity," said Samuel Krambeck, a Brazilian grower piloting the app. "This app will make a real difference in my day-to-day work and help contribute to a more organized and efficient crop," estimating the app reduced his time spent on the contracting process by approximately 80 percent compared to the traditional method used in prior seasons.

The app is now available for download by participating growers through Google Play and the Apple App Store.
