The company’s Canadian peak vegetable growing production is in the summer months, with no production during the winter season. As a result, Village Farms historically reports higher sales in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters.

In July, Village Farms announced that Pure Sunfarms achieved full run-rate production of 75,000 kilograms of dried cannabis annually at its 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 greenhouse facility in Delta, B.C. Pure Sunfarms expects its in-house extraction capabilities to be operational this year.

Pure Sunfarms also expects to complete its first harvest at the Delta 2 facility by mid-2020, ramp to full run-rate annual production by the fourth quarter of 2020, and operate at full production of 75,000 throughout 2021.

Village Farms also announced that its program for outdoor cultivation of high-cannabidiol (CBD) hemp and CBD extraction is progressing on plan. The Company’s joint venture for hemp production and processing in the Eastern U.S., Village Fields Hemp, expects initial sales of hemp biomass to commence in the fourth quarter of 2019.

“We are closely monitoring developments as the Texas Department of Agriculture proceeds towards establishing a licensing and regulatory framework for hemp cultivation and processing and continue to expect our Permian Basin greenhouse to be ready to begin hemp production as
soon as we are permitted to do so under Texas legislation,” said CEO Michael DeGiglio.
