prioritized
as part of production plans for organic
cannabis
MONCTON, Oct. 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Organigram Holdings
Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), the parent company of
Organigram Inc. (the "Company" or "Organigram"), a leading licensed
producer of medical marijuana, is proud to announce its medicinal
cannabis plants and growing process has been certified organic with
Ecocert Canada.
The process of re-certification coincided with Organigram's
significant expansion of its facility to meet the growing and
anticipated demand for both mineral and organic production.
As part of the process, Organigram submitted a comprehensive
action plan to Ecocert Canada, part of the Ecocert group, one of
the largest organic certification organizations in the world,
outlining the company's robust segregation design to manage and
execute the complexities of producing and processing both streams
of product within the same facility.
"When we considered the need to expand and meet the needs of our
existing and future customer base, it was apparent that we needed
to take our time and create an environment of excellence related
specifically to the production of organic cannabis for medicinal
use," says Greg Engel, CEO
Organigram. "We have built a robust and diligent organic strategy
into our plans to help ensure we can confidently deliver medicinal
products that meet the exacting standards of our clients."
As a licensed producer of legal medicinal cannabis, Organigram
is one of the most experienced organic producers in the industry
and has developed a strong understanding of the organic cannabis
client through the Canadian medicinal cannabis program, the
ACMPR.
"We know that there is a committed and loyal segment of the
cannabis population that is looking for exceptional organic
products for medicinal use," explains Ray
Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer, Organigram. "With that
in mind, we have applied the best of what we know about organic
cultivation to what we also know about product development and
strain selection and are proud to offer clients a high-quality
medicinal organic option."
