"At Agrify, we pride ourselves on being able to serve the needs of a wide range of cannabis customers with our cutting-edge solutions and complementary services at any stage of growth, both domestically and internationally," said Raymond Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Agrify. "Through our unwavering commitment to continuous innovation and bringing new technologies to market, the RDP program was launched to increase customer access to our VFUs and Agrify Insights cultivation software, while also providing us with a means to further increase our installed base.”
Mr. Chang continued, “Through these new RDP customer engagements, we are excited to support a traditional outdoor farm in Illinois in its quest to expand its current operations through the introduction of indoor cultivation and extraction solutions, a minority-owned social equity dispensary and cultivation business in our home state of Massachusetts that is attempting to elevate the consumer experience in a historically disadvantaged community, and a South African enterprise aspiring to produce the highest quality pharmaceutical cannabis at a low production cost per gram. While these customers come from different backgrounds, serve different markets, and have different operating objectives, it is especially humbling to know that they are unified by their shared trust and belief in our team and our cultivation and extraction solutions. We greatly appreciate the opportunity, through our innovative solutions, to help our customers get to market quickly, efficiently, and with a strong sense of purpose. We are also excited for the opportunity to bring our RDP program to even more customers throughout the world.”
