Grown Rogue (CSE:GRIN | OTC:NVSIF)(the “Company”) reports record sales of approximately US$1.0m in April, more than three times the average monthly revenue achieved during the Company’s fiscal first quarter ended January 31, 2019. Sales were boosted by new bulk wholesale orders during its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2019.
“Grown Rogue continues to gain recognition in the hyper-competitive Oregon market at the retail dispensary level, and recently at the bulk wholesale level as well,” explained Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue. “Bulk wholesale transactions helped boost our April sales as market demand for quality product is beginning to outstrip supply in some regions. We are hearing from our accounts that sourcing product is becoming the challenge in Oregon, not finding demand for it. Our recent LOI for the acquisition of Decibel Farms was part of our solution to increase our production to meet this growing demand for our products. We believe that the previously over-supplied Oregon market – widely considered the most competitive in North America – is reaching an equilibrium which could drive prices up.”
The Company continues to explore bulk sales opportunities as it can drive large revenue gains with sound margin, but budgeting conservatively as the nature of the bulk business can be inconsistent.
Through a dual strategy of organic and acquisitive growth the Company has been expanding operations in each of the multiple States where its operations or assets exist including Oregon, California and Michigan. Organic growth in Oregon is being complemented with attractively priced acquisition targets such as the recently announced intent to acquire of Decibel Farms.
Grown Rogue’s Michigan priorities are focused on establishing a presence in the adult-use marketplace with current agreements with operational partners that include two retail dispensaries in highly coveted and limited areas (Detroit, Hazel Park) as well as a 19,000 sq ft cultivation center in a Detroit Suburb.
The Company’s California operations are anticipated to come online with Grown Rogue products available this summer. Grown Rogue’s operations in California include distribution teams in northern and southern California and a 16,000 square foot multi-use (cultivation, retail, processing) center in Eureka, California.
“Our team knows how to navigate challenging cannabis market conditions because the early days of legalization in Oregon forced us to rapidly update strategy and tactics to ensure success,” said Jacques Habra, Chief Strategy Officer for Grown Rogue. “As cannabis becomes legal in new states, operators face similar challenges which is where a proven leader like Grown Rogue can excel. This is one of the prime opportunities for our moves into new states. The timing between medical and recreational legalization, which we are now seeing in Michigan and other states we are exploring, requires tactical and effective management.”

TRACE’s plant-based and alkaline wellness products to expand into key markets of Japan, China and the Philippines
Emerging leader in innovative health and wellness beverages and consumer products, BevCanna Enterprises Inc . ( CSE:BEV , Q:BVNNF , FSE:7BC ) (“ BevCanna ” or the “ Company ”) announces today its anticipated expansion into the Asia Pacific region, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Naturo Group.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210413005502/en/

TRACE product family (Photo: Business Wire)
With a combined population of 1.633 billion people, or 21 percent of the world’s citizenry, the three countries signify a substantial opportunity for BevCanna. The markets’ growing and prosperous middle-class consumer base represents an ideal demographic for the TRACE products, as consumers increasingly opt for healthier lifestyle choices. The global nutraceutical market size is projected to reach US$722.49 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period; Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, particularly in Japan and China. 1 The Japanese market is particularly suited for the introduction of the TRACE brand, with its consumers having developed a decided preference for natural, health-conscious products. Two-thirds of Asian consumers believe in superfoods and natural health products for treating ailments 2 , representing a prime demographic for wellness-focused products.
“The Asian market is a natural fit for our TRACE line of plant-based and alkaline products,” said Melise Panetta, President of BevCanna. “We’ve been actively evaluating the market potential, while also fielding increased interest from Asian customers and partners in our TRACE plant-based mineral products and our Canadian natural alkaline spring water. Our portfolio of products will address a growing demand for nutraceuticals and wellness-focused natural products, and we’re pleased to announce our anticipated expansion into these significant markets”.
TRACE’s proprietary plant-based mineralized beverages and nutraceuticals contain fulvic and humic minerals, sourced from ancient organic compounds that are highly concentrated sources of trace minerals. Recognized benefits of the Health Canada-approved formulations include cognitive performance, gut health, immune function, and aiding the body in metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Mineral-enhanced water is increasingly popular in Asia for its purported benefits to human immune systems and brain health.
TRACE’s proprietary alkaline spring water is bottled at source in British Columbia’s Okanagan region. The alkaline water provides additional benefits to the consumer as compared to most tap and conventional bottled water, including the increased presence of hydroxyl ions, increased hydration, improved bone health, healthier skin and decreased gastrointestinal symptoms.
