VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF) is pleased to announce the appointment of chemical engineer, Vivek Taneja, to its development team to develop plans for commercial hemp root oil production and to assist with the company’s planned cannabis extraction and product processing facility.
Vivek Taneja is an accomplished chemical engineer with more than 24 years of project management experience, including expertise in pilot plant and scale up studies, production management and technical project leadership. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Taneja was the project manager on over $50 million of engineering design and construction projects for global companies including Coca-Cola in Australia, Indonesia and India, Nestle Water and Minute Maid.
Mr. Taneja will assist in the management of small-scale hemp root oil production for Yield Growth’s immediate product needs, and will design a larger-scale commercial hemp root oil production facility for Yield Growth’s longer term requirements. He will also develop plans for a proprietary extraction process for Yield Growth’s planned extraction facility and design a cannabis products processing and manufacturing facility.
Thanks to increased demand for its hemp root oil, which just became decriminalized under the Cannabis Act in Canada and the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, Yield Growth has plans to build out its commercial production facility this year.
“Drawing on years of engineering experience, Mr. Taneja will provide fresh insights to our technology and priorities as we continue to expand The Yield Growth Corp. at an accelerated pace,” said Penny Green, President and CEO.
At the moment, Yield Growth’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are developing and manufacturing personal care products containing hemp root oil and various cannabinoids. Yield Growth intends to obtain necessary licenses to process cannabis and manufacture cannabis products in multiple jurisdictions where such products can be sold.
