Following the site tour, Canna was pleased to upgrade the US$2.6M purchase order, as announced on May 27, 2020, to a yearly sales agreement for its subsidiary to purchase, exclusively, all La Crème products produced from three (3) greenhouses totaling a minimum of 20,000 lbs of flower and 20,000 lbs of biomass per year.

“We are excited to have received a yearly purchase order, pre-harvest, for half of our current growing capacity. With 20 acres of land, we can expand our capacity even further. We have also scheduled additional site tours for prospective clients in the coming weeks. While CBG is still in the early stages of research, it’s great to see that its potential is being recognized.”
