Phyto Extractions Submits Application for Dried Cannabis Flower Sales Licence

The licence amendment would allow Phyto’s wholly owned Health Canada licenced subsidiary, Adastra Labs Inc. (“Adastra“), to leverage its agricultural product fulfillment capabilities to package, produce and sell dried flower based products across Canada, which would open the pathway to higher profit margins by eliminating the necessity to sell to other licence holders.

Michael Forbes, CEO and a director of Phyto, states, “The ability to sell dried cannabis products directly to provincial distributors and retailers represents a major milestone in the development of Phyto’s growth-oriented business plan. Direct sales will increase margins and provide critical access to retail space as flower and pre-rolls represent the largest cannabis market segments in Canada while bringing more eyes to our brands.”

Dried Cannabis  products are in high demand from provincial distributors and medical clients. Sales continue to dominate the legal Canadian recreational market, accounting for roughly three quarters of all sales and totaling over $2 billion in 2020.¹

“We intend to leverage Phyto’s brand awareness and sales momentum in the concentrates space to commercialize dried cannabis products under the brand to drive topline revenue with these high gross margin products,” said Donald Dinsmore, COO, Corporate Secretary and a director of Phyto.
