Vancouver, British Columbia – The press wire – December 21, 2021 – Gaia Grow Corp.

The entire production cycle will be purchased by the producer for the 12 month period.

The agreement is expected to generate revenues of up to $ 8,369,000 during the initial 12-month period. Assumed sales are based on the production of 30,000 pre-rolls per day which will be packaged in 10 retail packs. For a total of 3,000 10 packs per day with wholesale revenue TRU between around $ 8 for the 10 unlabeled packs to around $ 15 for the 10 labeled and branded packs. Actual incomes will vary depending on final production. The production cost per TRU depends on the commodity price of the dried flowers and labor in the facility.

The producer will coordinate the logistics of the delivery of the retail products and ensure that the retail products comply with the Cannabis Act and all regulations made under it, with all requirements from Health Canada, to any specific provincial or local government requirements, and to the producer’s customer reasonable standards.

“This is a big step forward for TruExtracts and Gaia,” said Frederick Pels, CEO of Gaia Grow. “The pre-roll market share is one of the most important segments of the legalized cannabis market in Canada. It accounts for north of 20% of all products sold in British Columbia and the Prairie provinces with the rest of Canada in their teens. It’s great to see TruExtracts delivering products for this important market with a healthy double digit profit margin. I look forward to educating shareholders as Tru continues to grow and deliver meaningful value to our shareholders. “

“Pre-roll production represents approximately 60% of Tru’s current production space,” said Andre Sinclair, COO of TRU. “This agreement demonstrates the effectiveness of Tru’s business model. As more SKUs are launched and Tru expands our build space, we expect this segment to prudently double in 2022 and see significant future revenue growth for Tru as well as Gaia. ”
