WEST ISLAND BRANDS ACQUIRES CONTRACT TO SUPPLY BIO PRODUCTS INTERNATIONALLY
West Island Brands Inc.'s agricultural subsidiary located in Hemmingford, Que., has acquired a contract to supply vegetable oil and flour products to interests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The international supply contract is a 12-month contract to deliver 25,000 tonnes of white corn flour and 12,500 tonnes of low-glycerine vegetable oil on a monthly basis. The first delivery is expected to take place later this month.
Boris Ziger, West Island's chief executive officer, states: "The company continues to expand its scope in the bio product and agricultural sector. With the Canadian cannabis market no longer in the growth stage, the company has been aggressively seeking to branch out into international markets for cannabis and other agricultural products to increase revenues and add value. The Congo contract represents months of intense efforts and negotiations. West Island management will continue to revue other opportunities in this sector."
