As previously flagged by the company, it continues a focus on expanding into industry synergistic opportunities, including exploring strategic partnerships and complimentary acquisitions in related markets.
These markets include lawful cannabis license ownership, growing management services, industry leading nutrients, emerging tissue culture expertise and other supporting faculties of hydroponic growing.
RGI is now assessing opportunities to acquire a Cannabis Cultivation License in Canada and is consequently in discussions with a number of license holders. At this stage, all discussions are preliminary.
