The Top Cannabis Companies Gaining Exposure on Colombian Growth Story

Palm Beach, FL – July 2, 2019 – Colombia is just beginning to transform itself into a multi-billion-dollar cannabis producer.  In time, growers estimate that the country could capture as much as a fifth of a global market that could be worth $40 billion a year, according to Reuters. Helping, Colombia’s climate full of long periods of sunlight, great temperatures, and consistent rainfall are a boon for cannabis.  That’s opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including MYM Nutraceuticals Inc., (CSE:MYM) (OTCQB:MYMMF), Blueberries Medical Corp. (CSE:BBM)(OTCQB:BBRRF), Khiron Life Sciences Corporation (OTCQB:KHRNF)(TSX-V:KHRN), and PharmaCielo Ltd. (OTCPK:PHCEF)(TSX-V:PCLO), and Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (CSE:CWEB) (OTCQX:CWBHF).

(CSE:MYM)(OTCQB:MYMMF) BREAKING NEWS: MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. just announced its subsidiary in Colombia, Colombia Organica S.A.S has signed agreements in principle to cultivate both THC and CBD-rich cannabis with independent farmers for an initial five acres.  Cannabis will be cultivated by farmers who will be licensees under the existing Colombia Organica cannabis cultivation licenses. The first crops cultivated on the initial five acres will function as test crops with the intention to add subsequent acreage. The climate in Colombia is ideal for cultivating cannabis, with the growing season being year-round it’s possible to harvest three crops of THC or CBD-rich cannabis annually.  “Our team in Colombia has begun to execute on our plan to cultivate both THC and CBD-rich cannabis in South America,” said Howard Steinberg, CEO of MYM. “The strategy of extending our licenses to neighbouring farmers to cultivate cannabis will serve to increase our biomass supply that we intend on processing and exporting to the global market.”

 

Colombia Organica is committed to extending its licenses to the independent farmers for an initial period of five years. The farmers will be responsible for all costs associated with cultivation from seed to sale. Colombia Organica agrees to purchase the harvested biomass at a price to be determined at the time of delivery based on the average market price at that time.  For more news for MYM please visit:   https://financialnewsmedia.com/news-mym/
