Little Green Pharma has struck a $7.5 million take-or-pay deal with Four 20 Pharma, introducing its new high-THC cannabis strain into Germany.
The company’s largest single-strain off-take contract comes on the heels of its recent $9m offtake with vertically integrated producer Demecan.
Under the agreement, Four 20 will purchase $7.5m of product over 30 months representing a ‘revolutionary step’ in LGP’s supply processes and contract portfolio entering the German market predicted to be worth EUR 9.08 billion by 2028.
The company said its new partner held a highly successful track record of supplying products to the European market.
“Another significant milestone in LGP’s continued growth of its Danish Facility and an exciting development in supply processes that promises to shorten supply timelines for future key strains dramatically,” chief executive Fleta Solomon said.
The company remain focused on increasing sales while carrying on education and research into the sector.
First product deliveries are expected late next quarter or early in the new financial year.
