AgraFlora Organics Prepares over 1,000KG of CBD Oil for Sale VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (“AgraFlora” or the “Company”) (CSE: AGRA) (Frankfurt: PU31) (OTCPK: AGFAF) is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary Sustainable Growth Strategic Capital Corp. (“SGSC” or “the Company”), a federally licensed cannabis company based in the Greater Toronto Area (“GTA”), in partnership with its biomass partner MicroC45, has generated an inventory of approximately 1,000 kg of CBD Crude Oil and Distillate (collectively “CBD Oil”), which it is readying for sale this quarter. The CBD oil was produced from approximately 10,000 kilograms of hemp biomass that was subject to the Company’s proprietary pre-extraction processes. The Company has retained an inventory of approximately 10,000 kilograms of additional hemp biomass ready for extraction and processing.
The Company is currently working to further refine the CBD Oil into CBD Isolate, with manufacturing expected to start this month. If the CBD Oil is converted fully into CBD Isolate, the Company forecasts it would have an inventory of over 850 kilograms of isolate. The Company is currently engaged in negotiations with potential buyers to determine the optimal sales mix of CBD Isolate, CBD Distillate and CBD Crude Oil and expects to close its first bulk transactions this quarter.

This points to our ability to maintain competitive pricing over time.”
