VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE: CROP)
(OTC: CRXPF) announces its 1,865 acre Nevada hemp-CBD farm has commenced harvest on the 240 acres planted in July and
August of this year.
All equipment sourced for the 2018 harvest has now arrived at the property with commercial drying equipment en
route. Upon completion of harvest and drying the company will begin delivering dried product to its processing partner, an ISO
compliant processor, with bi-weekly shipments of CBD Isolate expected back to the company. The Isolate will be sold under white
label as well as the company’s brands Hempire and Tiffany CBD.
According to cannabis industry analysts the Brightfield Group, it is estimated the hemp-CBD market alone could
hit $22-billion by 2022.
The company is now accepting offers from interested hemp-CBD flower off-takers for its 2019 harvest as all 2018
production will be used for the production of CBD isolate.
The two existing strains planted during the 2018 season with up to 19% CBD will be planted for 2019 along with
three additional genetics with similar CBD concentrations. The farm will be planted and maintained to organic standards to ensure
the hemp-CBD is to the specification of interested buyers.
CROP Infrastructure Director and CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: “We are excited to be working with an ISO compliant
processor to produce isolate while we work towards building our own in-house extraction capabilities. Having a full year of tenant
production next year on the total acreage along with the strong uptrend in the CBD market should position the company, its tenants
and its brands for a very exciting 2019.”
