VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CROP INFRASTRUCTRE CORP. (CSE: CROP)
(OTC: CRXPF)(Frankfurt: 2FR) announced today that it has leased a 87,120 square foot greenhouse facility in Italy through
its joint venture with XHemplar. Work has already begun on upgrading the site security which includes cameras and fencing.
In addition, CROP will be working with XHemplar to open two retail locations before the end of the year, as well
as build a state-of-the-art extraction facility.
CROP Infrastructure CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: “This will allow for low-cost and high-quality pure CBD
isolate and CBD products to be sold domestically as well as into the European CBD market. The joint venture’s CBD products will be
branded under the XHemplar and CROP brands Tiffany CBD and Hempire Italia.
“This is a major increase in our European footprint. Not only will this expand our growing capacity and quality
control, but, very importantly, the build-out of an extraction facility will allow CROP to provide European markets with quality
CBD isolate.”
According to cannabis industry analysts the Brightfield Group, it is estimated the hemp-CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by
2022.
