TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2019 / Itoco Inc (OTC PINK: ITMC), has signed a letter of intent to form a joint venture with Camedco to be named Itoco Biomed. The project has 18 hectares of licensed land in Colombia for the legal production of medical cannabis and processing for export.
This partnership positions Itoco to be a global leader in medical cannabis. Colombia already accounts for approximately 44% of globally licensed cannabis production.
Led by Michael Paul, CEO Itoco Inc., and Gilbert Paez, CEO Camedco, the team has many years combined business and agricultural experience.
Highlights of this ground-breaking partnership include:
- A facility in Cachipai, Cundinamarca which has been approved by the Colombian Ministry of Health, and ICA
- CBD licenses in place to produce medical cannabis for transformation and export
- a large extraction and drying facility, 90% operational and producing according to the highest quality and environmental standards
- a main facility and various partnerships with local 'small producer' families provide a combined 18 hectares of cannabis producing land, that Itoco believes will ultimately allow for annual production of significant volumes of cannabis flower.
CEO Michael Paul of Itoco stated "We believe that the global medical cannabis market will dwarf that of recreational cannabis and that Colombia will be the global leader in medical cannabis. This partnership gives Itoco a launching pad to become one of the global leaders in environmentally responsible medical cannabis production and distribution."
