"We have selected the property for its perfect growing conditions, clean and plentiful water supply and sustainable organic farming practices.

The current labour force will be repurposed to cannabis production with conversion to cannabis cultivation taking place one to two hectares at a time."
Genetics supplied for the project were selected by CannabCo and are specific to the environmental conditions of the region in order to optimize yields and productivity. The project is estimated to produce in excess of 200,000 kg per annum of dried flower.

"The close proximity to CannabCo's extraction and processing facility and the already active and successful farming infrastructure made this the perfect addition to CannabCo's operations." said Joseph Palumbo , the country General Manager. "We were impressed with the efficiency of the operation as well as the technologies deployed for water collection and conservation. The farm is a model for the region and one of the most successful operations of its kind in Colombia ." commented Joseph.
