VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc.’s (“Emerald”) (TSXV: EMH; OTCQX: EMHTF) 50%-owned joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms, has achieved its full production run-rate of 75,000 kilograms of dried cannabis at its 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 greenhouse in Delta, British Columbia.
“Pure Sunfarms’ growing operation is setting the standard for large-scale low cost high quality cannabis production, which we believe serves as a strong indication of what the combined expertise of Emerald and Village Farms can accomplish,” said Dr. Avtar Dhillon, Executive Chairman and President of Emerald. “As quality, yield and cost of production of Pure Sunfarms continue to exceed our initial goals, we are building a tremendously valuable asset in the Pure Sunfarms operation and achieving a significant contribution to Emerald’s growth strategy.”
Pure Sunfarms has been profitable for in its initial two quarters, with its gross margins benefiting from the start of its packaged product sales to the Ontario Cannabis Store and other retailers following the anticipated near-term approval by Health Canada for Pure Sunfarms to sell directly to provincial/territorial and private retailers. Pure Sunfarms is also progressing on in-house extraction capabilities, which it expects to be operational this year.
Pure Sunfarms has commenced conversion of its second 1.1 million square foot (25 acre) greenhouse operation, Delta 2, for cannabis production, which will double Pure Sunfarms’ annual output at full production to 150,000 kilograms. Pure Sunfarms expects to complete its first harvest at the Delta 2 facility by mid-2020, ramp to an annualize full production run-rate by the fourth quarter of 2020, and operate at full production of 75,000 throughout 2021.
