Green Leaf to begin its cultivation on a commodity level production of cannabis oils, distillates, isolates and related products for distribution and has now assembled its management team to oversee its Las Vegas and Argentina projects.
LAS VEGAS, April 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), is in the process of changing its name to Green Leaf Farms International, Inc. with the new ticker symbol to be GLFI. PNTV/GLFI is a rapidly growing company in the worldwide cannabis industry with initial operations in Nevada and currently building a medical derivatives production project in Argentina.
Growsmith was first tasked with revamping and optimizing the Company's 27,000 sq. ft indoor North Las Vegas facility which serves the Nevada market. Since Growsmith took over the company’s North Las Vegas facility in January, the operation is running much more efficiently and producing a higher quality product, leading to greater revenue. The Growsmith team is now preparing next month to help train and educate local agriculture workers in Argentina to transition them into experts in the art and science of cannabis production with medical purposes.
As previously announced in its definitive agreement, the Company has entered into a joint venture with a state owned company of the government of Jujuy Province, Argentina, with the purpose of producing cannabis medical derivatives. Also as previously announced the state owned Company has received approval from the Argentine government to import cannabis seeds to begin operations to produce medical cannabis oils, distillates, isolates and related health products for the local public health system, clinical trials, medical product registration, and exportation of medical derivatives.
The first phase of the Jujuy project has already received security and health approvals, with the first 8 hectares (20 acres) of land irrigated and ready for planting, expected to take place this year in accordance with Argentinean law and federal government approvals.
There is a rapidly growing worldwide demand to supply a wide range of industries including soft drink, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and other health related industries with CBD-infused products and Green Leaf has positioned itself as a producer of Cannabis based commodities.
In order to manage such operations Green Leaf undertook a search for a highly experienced cultivation and production team with the experience and knowhow to produce cannabis on such a large scale. After several months of interviewing companies, management selected Growsmith. Led by its founder, Mr. Vyas, Growsmith brings an experienced team of over a dozen agricultural experts with more than 100 years of combined experience in a wide range of disciplines. Over the past eight years Growsmith has been part of the infrastructural design, environmental management and build-out of over 1 million sq. ft of cannabis growing operations in the U.S., Canada, and other countries.
S. Vyas, President of Growsmith states, “We are thrilled to be chosen by Green Leaf Farms to spearhead the cultivation and production operations for both their North Las Vegas and Argentinian projects. This relationship is the culmination of over a year of due diligence on behalf of both our groups. We are excited for the opportunity to showcase the many skills and resources our team has developed, as well as sharing this knowledge through the development of educational programs.”
M. Bradley, CEO of Green Leaf Farms states, “The Growsmith team has the depth of knowledge and experience needed to take on our projects. Most importantly they possess the passion and understanding of what's needed to be successful while not just entering, but creating a whole new market producing commodity level quantities of cannabis distillates, oils, and isolates now being demanded by the rapidly emerging worldwide market for cannabis infused products. I am pleased to add Mr. Vyas and his team to ours.”
