Growing North American Cannabis and Hemp Operations Fueling Billion Dollar Industry Revenue Growth

PALM BEACH, Florida, September 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Legal Cannabis, Hemp and Marijuana markets are expanding and growing a rapid pace whereas industry professionals are reporting that sales growth potentials are reaching new highs every day. The Hemp Business Journal estimates the total retail value of all hemp products sold in the U.S. alone to be at least $688 million for 2016 as well as The Marijuana Business Daily's newest report, "Marijuana Business Factbook 2017," is forecasting that legal U.S. cannabis sales could soar by approximately 300% to around $17 billion annually by 2021. Active companies in the market today includes: Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTC: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT), Isodiol International Inc. (OTC: ISOLF) (CSE: ISOL), Radient Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: RTI), SugarMade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC: AMFE). Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT.CN) is pleased to announce a new joint venture with Cannatech [http://C:\Users\Patrick\Documents\Main_FNM\IOs\ (https:\www.cannatech.com\about-us ] LLC, a Massachusetts cannabis consulting company. This joint venture will grow, research, develop, and sell premium hemp extracts that contain a broad range of cannabinoids and natural hemp derivatives. Cannatech has done pioneering work with hemp by growing high CBD strains, which have tested in the 15-26% range, while staying compliant with state and federal laws.  

Hemp is a smaller, but fast growing, closely related business to the cannabis business. According to Hemp Business Journal, total retail value of hemp products sold in the U.S. in 2016 was $688 million, and sales of hemp CBD products boosted the industry to a five year 22% CAGR. The same group estimates the hemp industry will grow to $1.8 billion by 2020 in the USA. Read this and more news for Future Farm at: http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/ffrmf.html

As part of this joint venture agreement, Cannatech will provide Future Farm with multiple compliant hemp strains that test in the 'high' CBD percentile. It will also provide hemp strain lineage and breeding options to better develop hemp strains that thrive in the southeastern United States. The joint venture plans to grow in the state of Florida, where Future Farm already owns 15-acres of land and is working towards closing on another 10-acres.

Florida is the latest state to pass legislation allowing for the growing of hemp. Earlier this month, Gov. Rick Scott signed the Industrial Hemp Pilot Projects bill (Senate Bill 1726) into law. The bill gives Florida A&M University (FAMU) and the University of Florida permission to conduct research pilot projects on growing and selling hemp. "This joint venture continues Future Farm's goal to position itself as a leader in the two most valuable and fastest growing crops in the world: cannabis and hemp," comments William Gildea, CEO of Future Farm. "We will leverage the same oil extraction equipment and techniques in Florida as we have learned in California, where we have already started processing hemp into CBD oil and cannabis into THC oils."
