Aurora Cannabis teams up with Danish tomato producer to sell
Canadian marijuana company Aurora Cannabis Inc on Thursday decided to partner with Danish tomato and pepper producer Alfred Pedersen & Son to produce and sell cannabis in Europe. Aurora's growth plan comes at a time when Canada is set to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana by July, becoming the second country in the world to do so after Uruguay. Tomato and pepper - often grown in greenhouses - are the most common choices to convert to weed as they have similar growth requirements. The newly formed company, Aurora Nordic Cannabis A/S, will set up a production facility, which can produce up to 120,000 kg of cannabis per year, Aurora said.
Aurora's partner received its license to cultivate cannabis from Denmark'sMedicines Agency on January 1.
