Business Wire
Astika Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: ASKH) a strategic
acquisition company of service, agriculture and industrial
companies from the Nantong Region in China announced yesterday that
it is entering into the Industrial Hemp sector through partnerships
with current leaseholders with the goal of acquiring operating
facilities to begin its own facilities in Asia and New Zealand with
the launch of Nantong HZ Hemp Co. Ltd.
Due to the positive response to Astika’s entrance into the
Industrial Hemp sector to grow the Company’s agriculture
initiatives and revenues, Mark Richards, the director for Astika
Holdings commented, “the Hemp initiative runs parallel with
Astika’s "Green Future" objectives with the Nantong Grain Seeder of
High Accuracy which meets the requirement of agriculture
modernization in China, performs a multi-function agriculture
process which reduces the utilization of tractors, lowers the
associated costs, increases the yield, uses less fertilization,
decreases pollution and protects the environment."
Hemp requires little to no pesticides, no herbicides, controls
erosion of the topsoil, produces oxygen and can be used to replace
many potentially harmful products, such as tree paper (the
processing of which uses chlorine bleach, which results in the
waste product polychlorinated dioxins, which are carcinogenic, and
contribute to deforestation, cosmetics, and plastics, most of which
are petroleum-based and do not decompose easily. Hemp produces 4
times the raw material than trees for paper making and can be
planted between 1-3 times a season, depending on location, be
recycled up to 10 times, compared to 3 or 4 times for wood pulp
paper. The same hemp fiber products from a hemp harvest provides
raw-materials for products such as, paper, textiles, building
materials, industrial materials, foods, cosmetics and a host of
other sustainable Green products.
With China as the single largest supplier of US imports of raw
and processed hemp fiber, Astika focused its agriculture plans in
the high-profile Industrial Hemp sector in China and New Zealand
where the opportunity is available to generate revenues. The 2012
Annual Retail Sales for Hemp Report, estimates the total US retail
value of hemp products in 2012 was nearly $500 million (The Hemp
Industries Association or "HIA"). Astika believes that China will
continue to have influence on Hemp market prices, year-to-year
profits of producers and processors in other countries.
The Company intends to be issuing press releases to its
shareholders in the coming days and weeks outlining a series of
potential acquisitions and expansion. Astika Holdings is in the
process of making the necessary filings in Form 8-Ks, which will be
filed on the US SEC EDGAR system providing the specifics of
developments. The new management intends to position the Company
for an up-listing to a higher exchange such as the NASDAQ BX or
NASDAQ, once the Company meets the financial status and market
share price for up-listing qualification. The Company has begun the
process of integrating management and moving its headquarters to
Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
