NORFOLK COUNTY, ON, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Target Group Inc. (OTCQB: CBDY) today announced
that its wholly owned subsidiary, Canary Rx Inc. ("Canary") has entered into an exclusive global partnership agreement with Serious
Seeds B.V. in all legal cannabis markets (“Serious Seeds”). Serious Seeds is a world renowned and highly acclaimed Dutch seed bank
known for breeding premium cannabis strains, including AK-47, Chronic, Bubblegum, Kali Mist and White Russian.
For over 20 years, Serious Seeds have bred an expertly curated catalog of classic, high quality, reliable cannabis genetics.
Their methodical approach to perfecting a limited selection of now legendary strains, has gained Serious a flood of accolades and
awards within the cannabis community.
“Selecting quality genetics is a fundamental aspect of producing premium cannabis, so we are delighted to be joining forces with
such a distinguished and globally recognized breeder as Serious Seeds,” said Randall MacLeod, CEO of Canary Rx Inc. “This is
just one strategic partnership for Canary as we position ourselves to become Canada’s preferred producer of premium cannabis
products.”
The groundbreaking partnership will see Serious Seeds breeding their original strains at Canary’s 44,000 sq. ft. facility in
Norfolk County, Ontario, as well as developing new genetics for the emerging recreational market. Canary will also have exclusive
access to Serious Seeds’ current catalog of strains, providing Canadian growers with legal access to world-class genetics.
“Serious Seeds has placed careful consideration into selecting an appropriate cannabis producer with which to share our
genetics,” said Simon Smit from Serious Seeds. “Canary appealed to us because of their passionate, experienced growers, superior
cultivation techniques, and our shared philosophy of quality over quantity. Serious Seeds has always been about breeding the best
strains, not the most strains, and that will be our continued focus.”
Serious Seeds has earned its reputation over decades, despite significant legal and regulatory restraints. Such passion,
dedication and expertise is a relatively untapped resource, often overlooked by the deluge of industry newcomers. Canary will
continue to seek out partnerships with veterans of the cannabis community that deserve recognition in the newly emerging legal
market.
