Village Farms International to Present at ICR Conference on Wednesday, January 13,

Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) (TSX: VFF) today announced that Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen Ruffini, Chief Financial Officer, will present virtually at the ICR Conference 2021 on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. ET.

During the presentation, Messrs. DeGiglio and Ruffini will discuss:

The success of Village Farms’ wholly-owned Canadian cannabis company, Pure Sunfarms, which has become one of the premier Canadian cannabis companies, is the top-selling brand of dried flower products in Canada’s largest provincial market1, and has been profitable on a net income basis for seven consecutive quarters;

Why the Company, with one of the largest greenhouse footprints in the United States, combined decades of experience as a vertically integrated supplier of consumer products to major North American grocers and “big-box” retailers, is well positioned for, and developing multiple strategies to capitalize on, favourable U.S. federal regulatory developments that would potentially allow it to legally participate in the U.S. cannabis industry; and

The Company’s international cannabis opportunities.

A live webcast of the presentation will be available to the public on Village Farms’ website (www.villagefarms.com) in the Investors section, or directly here: https://bit.ly/2JHLrlA. The webcast presentation will be archived and available for 90 days on the Company’s website.
