Will focus on pharma quality manufacturing of health and wellness products
Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Future Farm Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Future Farm”) (CSE: FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) is pleased to announce that Tom Barrette, an accomplished attorney and business executive who was recently elected to serve as a Director of Future Farm, will now also be the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
Over the past year, Mr. Barrette has devoted a large part of his time advising Future Farm on all aspects of its business, especially with respect to the Company’s new focus on pharma quality manufacturing of health and wellness products, including those made from hemp.
“Tom has worked closely with me to identify that the best opportunity to create value for the shareholders of Future Farm is the production of plant-based health and wellness products, including those which feature hemp-derived compounds,” says Bill Gildea, Future Farm’s CEO. “We will continue to work together to make 2020 a great year for Future Farm.”
“Future Farm’s decision to grow hemp in Maine in 2018 and 2019 led us to analyze deeply the market for the sophisticated production of plant-based health and wellness products,” comments Mr. Barrette. “The quality of that market with respect to both profitability and growth is outstanding. In the short term, we will use the hemp biomass from our 2019 harvest to produce products in collaboration with first-rate advanced manufacturers. But our real goal in 2020 is to acquire one or more operating manufacturing companies to quickly increase our share of that market.”
Future Farm has also made a renewed commitment to shareholder communication by retaining leading investor relations firm Renmark Financial Communications.
