Phivida recently announced a
groundbreaking exclusive national agreement with Acosta, Inc., a sales and marketing leader for the consumer-packaged
goods industry in the United States, to distribute Phivida’s products, including the new beverage. Distributed through Acosta’s
Natural Specialty Sales (NSS) division, Phivida’s drinks will be the first CBD hemp brand to cross over into the national
mainstream distribution system in the states.
Making the most of this shift, Phivida is focusing on establishing an international presence. The deal with Acosta
will provide distribution into a network of more than 27,000 U.S. retail outlets. In Canada, the company has created a
joint venture with WeedMD to be the first to market with one of the first-ever federally legal
cannabis beverage manufacturing facilities in the world — a major milestone.
A deal with Namaste
Technologies means Phivida products open the European Union and United Kingdom markets, while another deal
with Asayake
provides new opportunities for distribution in Japan. These partnerships have helped establish Phivida as the fastest-growing
brand in CBD foods and beverages just as that market appears ready to take off.
