CROP to Focus U.S. Cannabis Sector

CROP is selling its assets so it can focus the U.S. cannabis sector, suggests comments of the company’s CEO Michael Yorke.

He stated:

“The passing of the US Farm Bill in December 2018 has been a total game changer in terms of the vast opportunities opening up right now in the US. We firmly believe in striking while the iron’s hot right now on our US doorstep while maintaining exposure to infantile global opportunities.”

He added:

“CROP has divested itself of these two international operations so that management can remain entirely focused on the expanding US operations while retaining a passive but strategic investment in an internationally focused player offering CROP shareholders additional exposure to WFC’s global growth. The company has invested approximately $100,000 between the two projects. This represents a 2,000% return on investment for CROP and its stakeholders.”
