Hemp Rivers and Klonetics
Hemp Rivers Aquaponics has signed a letter of Intent with Klonetics, known for their cutting-edge genetics. Klonetics has one of the largest banks of cannabis and hemp genetics in Canada.
Sage Ellie, CEO of Hemp Rivers stated, “We’re looking forward to working closely with the Klonetics team, to take CBD production to new levels.”
The CBD Market
Global Market Insights, Inc. recently reported that they estimate the global CBD market will cross US$89 billion by 2026. This growth is driven by growing medical applications and increasing retail sales of CBD products. In addition, the report expects a greater percentage of this growth to come from Hemp versus cannabis, the other crop used to source CBD.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is an active ingredient in cannabis derived from hemp or cannabis plants. Increasing data suggest it may help treat conditions like pain, insomnia, and anxiety. Historically Cannabis strains have been developed with a focus on high THC and on the illicit growing, rather than larger scale growth. For the medicinal markets, there is more of a need for strains with specific cannabinoids to meet the medical requirements without the requirement for THCs.
Both parties will now proceed with their applications for a nursery licence or cultivator licence, under the Cannabis Act (Canada).
