IHF CBD Flower supply agreement
MCCN signed a supply agreement with major CBD distribution company IHF during 2021.
Contract was signed prior the regulation for the export of flower was issued which happened first quarter 2022.
MCCN then applied and got granted the additional export licenses required to export flower, together with ICA (Colombian National Agronomical Institute) GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification also required for the flower export.
MCCN has received the approval for the first trial export, that is expected to take place within August 2022, followed by recurring commercial exports starting October 2022. The purpose of the trial shipment is to have a clear path of the logistics, documents, and all other requirements that the export to US may have.
Comment from CEO Felipe de la Vega: "Its being a long and difficult journey since we created the company. A market that we were trying to understand and anticipate but that was being created. Therefore, making decisions was more complex. CBD market for extracts and isolates became very competitive with the US hemp farm bill affecting projections. Market for THC extracts is highly regulated, requires multiple certifications and a lot of investment, and still is a very small market compared with flower. Now the approval of flower export has allowed us to really gain traction in Colombia supply, as a high quality, low cost producer, and the result of it is the multiple contracts we have now in place and we continue to negotiate. Starting November 2022, we expect recurrent revenue with high margins and good profitability."
De la Vega continues "This combined with internal decisions that have helped us to reduce our G&A and cash burn makes our company a sustainable and profitable target for investors and we are pretty confident that before the end of the year we will be in a complete different situation. We continue supplying internally medical formulations currently approximately 300 per month and growing at 15% per month."
De la Vega continues "Now we are really getting to an interesting point for the Company, with a very clear path forward and the possibility to generate profits for our investors."
