COLOMBIAN CANNABIS OPERATIONS
International Cannabis holds licences to cultivate, produce, hold, sell and export cannabis and its by-products. Colombia has become a highly sought-after jurisdiction for cannabis cultivation activities as it has a world-leading combination of broad public and private sector acceptance, ideal growing conditions, and a massive addressable market.
International Cannabis previously acquired 13 hectares of optimal agricultural land located in Funza, the heart of the Bogota savanna, which is also one of the safest areas in Colombia. It is conveniently located within a 20-kilometre drive to Bogota’s international airport. The lease on this land has been prepaid for a period of 10 years.
International Cannabis has commenced construction of its Colombian Cannabis Park, highlighted by a one-hectare, polycarbonate greenhouse. The Company’s Colombian Cannabis Park is forecasted to produce between 25,000 and 40,000 kilograms of dried Cannabis flowers per year. Once fully optimized, ICC’s Colombian assets are projected to generate up to 500,000 kilograms of dried Cannabis flower per annum.
