companies to be granted commercial production in Colombia is a
testament to the quality of our team and operations and further
positions us as a leading Latin American licensed producer of
medicinal cannabis.”

job, working diligently with the ICA during the intricate and
lengthy review process to complete the field trials, rigorous data
collection and analysis required to receive approval for commercial
registration,” stated Camilo Villalba, Chief Operating Officer.
“The approval of our proprietary strains by the ICA is further
demonstration of the extensive agricultural, biological and genetic
expertise of our scientific and medical teams.”
