Highlands Investments launches Africa's first contract cultivation offering – Canna-Tract(TM)
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- Highlands Investments, a licensed cultivator of high-quality, low-cost 
medical grade cannabis, today launches Canna-Tract(TM)

"Canna-Tract is Africa's first cannabis contract cultivation offering. 
Canna-Tract provides clients looking to grow commercial volumes of 
medical-grade cannabis the ability to do so without having to obtain a licence 
or invest the significant capital required to ensure medical grade product. We 
believe that our cost per hectare model will result in one of the lowest 
cultivation costs per gram today," says Highlands Investments Managing 
Director, Mark Corbett. 

With its exceptional growing climate and low production cost, Lesotho is an 
ideal place to grow commercial volumes of cannabis. In 2017, Highlands 
Investments (formerly Canopy Growth Africa) was granted one of the first and 
largest licences by the Lesotho government to cultivate, manufacture, supply, 
import and export medical cannabis products including flower, oil, distillate 
and isolate. 

Highlands has two sites in Lesotho; the main site is at Kolojane. Over $35 
million was invested by Canopy Growth, the world's largest cannabis company by 
market capitalisation, to develop the sites, which are now wholly owned by 
Highlands. Each site includes state-of-the art growing, processing and 
packaging facilities that comply to international and local regulations. After 
three successful harvests, Highlands is now entering its fourth grow season, 
harvesting will take place in March/April. 

With Canna-Tract, companies can cultivate cannabis to their specific 
requirements under the care of Highland's highly specialised team of 
agronomists, scientists, pharmacists and engineers, who take full 
responsibility for the growing, harvesting and processing of the cannabis 
flower. Clients can select or supply genetics and choose the final product form 
(flower or extract). The minimum grow commitment is 0.5 hectares. Various 
payment plans are available. Plants are RFID tagged and grown under net house 
to GAP requirements. Clients receive monthly grow reports and have access to 
24-hour CCTV feed. After harvesting and processing the product is stored at 
Highlands' warehouse until it is ready to be shipped to its final destination.
