TORONTO, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTC: RWBYF) (“RWB” or the “Company”), announced today plans to increase cultivation capacity upon closing of the previously announced definitive agreement to enter the Florida cannabis market.
RWB has secured 30 double wide fully enclosed cultivation pods that collectively provide approximately 19,000 square feet of operating space, with 14,400 square feet of canopy. Each unit is specifically designed and outfitted for premium cannabis cultivation.
These units, once online, shall be able to produce in excess of 7000lbs of flower annually, as well as thousands of pounds of trim with an estimated value in excess of US
The Company will be taking delivery of the units in Florida for deployment at the Sanderson Property, which forms part of the Florida acquisition agreement and includes the sale of the property in Sanderson, with over 15 acres of land and a 113,546 SF facility for cultivation and processing.
The pods will allow the Company to immediately operationalize additional cultivation capacity, as it drives to expedite the opening of additional medical marijuana dispensary locations and implements home delivery shortly after closing of the transaction. It is anticipated, as per the Company’s previous press releases, that subject to regulatory approval, this transaction will close in Q2 2021.
Self-contained, technically advanced cultivation pods provide a unique opportunity for RWB to produce ultra-premium product for the Florida marketplace that is significantly differentiated to what is commonplace in the market today. The majority of Florida’s medical cannabis market is supplied with mass produced flower with common strains. RWB looks to satiate the State’s demand for a more premium product utilizing a craft-grown discipline for cannabis flower and leveraging both the Platinum Vape and exclusively licensed High Times® brands.
