  • Now producing Cannabis biomass in large scale industrial bioreactors under the current R&D license.
  • Commencing the process of transitioning the current Israeli Cannabis R&D license to a production license.

Vancouver, British Columbia and Rehovot, Israel–(Newsfile Corp. – March 23, 2022) – BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE: BHSC) (“BioHarvest” or the “Company”) today announced that it has produced Cannabis Biomass in large scale industrial bioreactors, which represents the completion of the Company’s Cannabis R&D program.

On December 8th, 2021, BHSC became the first company ever to announce that it could produce Cannabis biomass without growing the plant itself. Building on that breakthrough, the Company has made significant progress, and has now produced Cannabis in large scale industrial bioreactors, marking the start of the transition to commercial scale manufacturing. To that end, the Company has commenced the process to obtain a production license in Israel for its Cannabis products to complement the R&D license it has used to date for the Cannabis development program.

Dr. Yochi Hagay, CTO, said “I am elated and proud of this achievement. The R&D team has relentlessly pursued this moment, which marks a new era for the Cannabis industry. Our proprietary and unique amalgamated trichome structure has proven resistant to shear forces applied during the cell growth process in liquid media and it will demonstrate more advantages when it comes to the medicinal application of our products. I have never doubted our ability to use our CELLicitation technology to produce Cannabis without the need to grow the plant itself and we have broken biological barriers to grow high performance trichomes in liquid suspension. We are now ready to bring our first unique Cannabis compositions to the world. We will of course continue to invest in Cannabis R&D to add more Cannabis products to the portfolio, appreciate the IP assets and drive even further manufacturing efficiencies.”

BioHarvest plans to bring its first Cannabis products to market in 2022 and will be converting the current VINIA® 2 tons/year facility in Rehovot, Israel to produce Cannabis. This is happening in conjunction with the transition of all VINIA ® manufacturing to the new 20 tons/year facility in Yavneh, Israel, which will support the scaling of successful sales of VINIA® in the US and beyond.

Ilan Sobel, CEO, states “Our unprecedented achievements present a great opportunity for the Cannabis industry. Consistent, clean, and efficacious Cannabis that is produced with the highest ESG credentials and capital efficiency with significantly lower manufacturing costs is the revolution this industry needs to gain further market traction and trust by the regulators worldwide. Our CELLicitation platform technology is a true market disruptor, cementing BioHarvest’s position as a leader in plant cellular biology. With the completion of the initial Cannabis R&D program, more focus can now be applied towards achieving the desired scale for our two business verticals, Polyphenols/Antioxidants and Cannabis.

Bioharvest Sciences Inc.’s First Cannabis Cell Reservoir Produces Ongoing Flowering Stage Cannabinoid Cells For 2 Years https://mjshareholders.com/bioharvest-sciences-inc-s-first-cannabis-cell-reservoir-produces-ongoing-flowering-stage-cannabinoid-cells-for-2-years/ Wed, 07 Jul 2021 16:31:23 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2925383

– The Company demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of its BioFarming technology by reducing production cycle time for Cannabis from 14-23 weeks to 3-4 weeks.

– The Company’s BioFarming technology will allow the Company to harvest 13-17 cycles per year versus an average of 4 cycles per year for conventional Cannabis cultivation.

– The Company is on track to reach commercialization in H1/2022.

VANCOUVER, BC and REHOVOT, IsraelJuly 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (“BioHarvest” or the “Company”) (CSE: BHSC) today announces it has reached a significant milestone in its production of Cannabinoids, with its first cell reservoir producing Cannabis Trichomes (the natural micro-factories producing Cannabinoids) for the past two years. This achievement demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of the Company’s BioFarming technology to produce the “flowering” stage of the Cannabis growth cycle at scale, which is significantly shorter, more productive, and cost-efficient, and more environmentally sustainable than conventional Cannabis cultivation.

BioHarvest’s ground-breaking technology employs the original Cannabis plant and its respective cells as starting material only once, allowing the Company to harvest 13-17 cycles per year versus an average of 4 cycles per year for conventional Cannabis cultivation. The Company’s bioreactors can reliably and continuously produce Cannabis cells without the need to source the mother plant, seeds, or any other starting material again. This efficiency results from bypassing the “seeding” and “vegetative” stage, usually taking a Cannabis plant anywhere between 6 and 13 weeks.

In addition, BioHarvest’s Cannabis cells are able to remain in the flowering stage continuously, in contrast to a typical Cannabis flower that will terminate after 9 or 10 weeks of flowering and will be immediately followed by the end of the plant’s life cycle. In that case, new starting material will need to be sourced and propagated, and new seedlings will be required to be grown through the vegetative stage, once again. BioHarvest’s BioFarming technology does not require the conventional propagation and vegetative stages and provides an unprecedented level of efficiency and consistency to the Cannabis industry.

The repeated use of the same Cannabis cell reservoir for two years is an unprecedented scientific achievement in the Cannabis plant kingdom,” said Dr. Yochi Hagay, BioHarvest CTO.  “Our ability to keep our Cannabis cells in this “flowering” stage for the past two years versus conventional periods of nine weeks demonstrates the unique efficiency of our technology and puts us on track to reach commercial production using Cannabis-based compounds.”

Ilan Sobel, the CEO, said: “The Company is on track to commercialize its Cannabis-based products in H1/2022. The abilities and achievements discussed above take us closer to such a time when we can bring the power of the Company’s BioFarming technology to the Cannabis market. I am pleased with our progress and shall continue to update BHSC’s stakeholders periodically.”

Eitan Popper, Co-Founder and former President of MedReleaf, and Chairman of BioHarvest’s Board of Advisors, stated: “The fact that BioHarvest has been able to use the same cell reservoir for two years now, is a testament to the robustness of the Company’s technology and the quality of its Standard Operating Procedures. Reducing the growth cycle and total production time from no less than the conventional 16 weeks to 3-4 weeks, has immense economic and environmental implications.

Delays and cost overruns may result in delays achieving our objectives obtaining market acceptance and regulatory approvals for geographic expansion is subject to risk and cannot be guaranteed. The success of the Company in demonstrating its ability to consistently grow in solution trichomes from multiple plant strains is not an assurance that the Company will be able to commence commercial production when anticipated or at all. While the company is in the process of constructing a two ton production facility the Company‘s current licensing only permits scientific research. Projected sales of Cannabis will require the company to obtain production and / or export licensing which cannot be assured.
