Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2020) - Alternate Health Corp., (CSE: AHG) (OTCQB: AHGIF) ("Alternate Health" or the "Company"), an international leader in CBD product development and distribution, announced today that the Company has signed an exclusive sales agreement with Interadigm Shd. Bhd. ("Interadigm") to market the Company's online CBD education program throughout Malaysia, with ongoing negotiations to expand into clinical trials and CBD product distribution.
"As we have seen from the excitement created after Thailand's recent removal of CBD from its controlled substances list, the CBD industry is beginning to heat up in Southeast Asia," says Howard Mann, CEO of Alternate Health. "With its prosperous economy and business-friendly policies, we are excited to work with both Malaysian healthcare companies and government agencies as the industry develops."
Alternate Health's agreement with Interadigm is the first step of the Company's strategy in Malaysia. Beyond education, Alternate Health is actively negotiating with national healthcare companies and government agencies to develop new business opportunities in CBD product distribution throughout Malaysia. As a key member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Company expects developments in Malaysia's regulations to be influential for the industry across the region.
"Local government is currently reviewing changes to laws and regulations surrounding hemp and medical cannabinoids, and Alternate Health is well positioned to offer management and oversight," says Howard Mann. "We see Malaysia as an excellent base to begin our expansion throughout the ASEAN region."
