Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) Production Footprint Increases with Further Tweed Farms Licence Expansion

Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) (WEED.TO) (CGC) is pleased to announce that its Tweed Farms Inc. (“Tweed Farms”) site has received licence amendments approving all remaining greenhouse space, bringing the Company’s total licensed footprint to approximately 3.2 million sq. ft. The Company’s Canadian platform is now 57% licensed with the balance under aggressive development towards the previously announced 5.6 million sq. ft. target production footprint. This target excludes significant production capacity projects underway at Canopy Rivers’ partners and supply available to Canopy Growth through third-party agreements.

“We are a house of cannabis brands and that means we need production infrastructure that can grow a wide range of genetics at scale simultaneously,” said Mark Zekulin , co-CEO and President, Canopy Growth. “I’m proud of this most recent licence and credit our team as we continue our track record of expansion and execution.”

With licensed production sites in seven provinces, Canopy Growth has quickly established itself as a national producer. High efficiency hybrid greenhouses, including those at Tweed Farms represent approximately 80% of the Company’s production platform.

The Company continues to pursue a large and diversified production platform in order to build a sustainable source of supply of high quality cannabis products that can be used for medial and recreational markets. This licensing milestone is a meaningful increase to Canopy Growth’s capacity but more licensed capacity, currently in the regulatory licensing process, is needed in order to fill the available demand projected in the market.

Here’s to Future Growth.
