ICC International Cannabis Corp. (KNHBF) Adds Portuguese CBD License, Continues Expansion Into European Union

This licence authorizes International Cannabis to cultivate hemp on 400 acres of fertile agricultural land located in the Castelo Branco region of Portugal. The Company’s Portuguese hemp operations are estimated to yield 45,000 kg of finished, extracted pure cannabidiol (“CBD”) isolate product per annum, and a full operating team and infrastructure is in place.

The Castelo Branco region boasts over 250 days of unadulterated sunshine per year, resulting in an attractive climate for outdoor hemp cultivation. International Cannabis expects to seed the newly acquired land package in the spring of 2019.

Eugene Beukman, CEO and a director of International Cannabis stated, “International Cannabis is progressing towards a full spectrum cannabis license in Portugal, which it is hopeful to achieve before the end of Q1 2019. The Company considers the addition of this hemp licence as the first step towards developing a material cultivation presence in Portugal.

Enigma plans to release both branded and white-labeled CBD products in the first quarter of 2019. Enigma’s product offering will include CBD-infused chocolate, CBD oils, as well as CBD-based topical creams.

The Company continues to expand upon its European cultivation portfolio. This acquisition allows International Cannabis to further leverage its network through Cosmos Holdings’ distribution network of approximately 35,000 pharmacies across 16 countries. Cosmos Holdings’ is equipped with a trans-European network of over 160 clients and vendors. This European distribution network is augmented by various value added services including strategic procurement, warehousing, product registrations and regulatory representations.

Mr. Beukman continued, “International Cannabis has long been focused on developing a capable team in Portugal. The Company is confident that this acquisition lays an excellent foundation for the comprehensive build out of a vertically integrated Portuguese operation. ICC’s expansive distribution network, will allow for continued penetration of the European Union’s burgeoning CBD markets and appetite for natural health products”.
