Based on your comments I think you're missing a key distinction with AgraFlora's business plan in comparison to its "competitors". AgraFlora, at least from the Delta Facility, will be in the business of cannabis propogation - flower-ready propogation to be specific. They will grow cannabis up to the the flower-ready stage and then sell the plants to (presumably) the bigger players that you seem to suggest will crowd them out of the market. The Houweling's Group has a reputation as a large scale plant propagator and that experience and reputation puts AgraFlora/PSC in a unique position.
I believe some AGRA shareholders have a misconception on the niche opportunity that AGRA (PSC) is targeting within the cannabis sector. I think all shareholders should familiarize themselves with the following segment of AGRA's corporate summary so they understand what the company's market really is or will be: :
The Science of Propagation
Greenhouse plant propagation is a specialization that is used all over the world for a wide variety of plants. By using third party propagation plants to eliminating propagation costs and optimize growing operations, Licensed Producers can generate much more revenue and shareholder value over the long-term. As the first large-scale propagation operation in Canada, and likely the world, AgraFlora has “first mover advantage” over competitors and has generated much interest from Licensed Producers across the country.
In a recent review of opportunities within the Canadian cannabis industry, it was evident that there are significant benefits to providing flower ready plants to cannabis cultivators. Plant propagation simplifies growing operations while significantly enhances top line revenue and operating profits.
Approximately 20 to 30 percent of a license producer’s greenhouse is dedicated to cannabis propagation. By using third-party propagation services, this area can be repurposed to growing flowering plants and generate proportional topline revenue increases. In addition, third-party specialized propagation can improve horticultural and operational challenges: - Clean stock genetics and offsite genetics bank for LPs.
- Reduced contaminates, pest and disease pressure on flowering plants without crop failures.
- Less complicated staffing requirements and easier training,
- One purpose facility with more efficient operating procedures.
Furthermore, propagation operations are complicated and require specialized knowledge and expertise to ensure high quality clones without disease and contaminates. Starter plants mitigate these challenges and allows cannabis cultivators to focus upon growing and processing flowering plants. https://puf.ca/pdf/agra%20company%20summary%20dec18%20v1.pdf
