The company says it anticipates the edibles facility will submit its Health Canada affirmation of readiness shortly after completion.
The company also says it is working with industry-leading experts to manage the timing and quality of the submission and expects a processing license to be granted for the Winnipeg facility by summer 2020.
“Completing the construction and licensing of the Winnipeg Edibles Facility is a strategic priority for AgraFlora in 2020,” said CEO Brandon Boddy in a news release.
“Edibles have only been broadly available to Canadian consumers starting in 2020 and the industry is still struggling to manage quality and inventory levels. Our team in Winnipeg has a century of candy making experience, and our facility is designed to produce high-quality, consistently dosed edibles using smart automation investments to reduce costs as much as possible. Once licensed, we expect to be disruptive in the edibles space.”
AgraFlora has a partnership with the huge Houweling Nurseries complex on 64th Street.
The retrofit of the Houweling greenhouse is taking place over several phases and will be licensed by the end of Q2.
The 49-acre facility will be the largest cannabis greenhouse facility under glass in Canada among those that are currently built.
