LAS VEGAS, Dec. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One World Pharma (OTC: OWPC) (“One World” or the “Company”), the largest Black-controlled, fully-licensed cannabis and hemp producer in Colombia, today announces that it has received approval and filed articles of amendment to change its name to "One World Products: Sustainable Hemp and Cannabis Solutions" (“One World Products”), (the "Name Change"). The Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the OTC under the new name "One World Products" on or about December 1, 2021.

“This rebranding is more reflective of the multiple industries and markets we are now actively participating in as a supplier of both commercial hemp and cannabis products.
