Cannabis Cultivation Operations Booming as Cannabis Friendly Regulations Fueling Big Revenue Opportunities

PALM BEACH, Florida, January 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

A big question lately has been circulating around in the legal marijuana industry as the market continues to grow at a rapid pace: Is Indoor or Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation Key To Success… Or Is It Something Else Entirely? The Cannabis Business Times, an industry source in an article titled: "The Inside Scoop on Outdoor Cultivation" condenses the differences. "Growing under the sun has its advantages, such as low operating costs, but other rewards- and risks-also lurk in the shadows. Outdoor growing is the baseline for cannabis-production cost: no lighting, no cooling, with lower capital and operating costs. Just a field, a tractor, and some hands and feet. In the right locales, rain delivers the water for free. Whether one grows indoors or outdoors, cannabis cultivation is still all about light, nutrients and water. In that respect, all growing is the same. But when one looks more closely, it easy to find that each environment in which one grows present its own set of challenges." The challenge for all growers, indoors and out, remains controlling costs and maximizing yield. Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC:NUGS), Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC:SGMD), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB)(TSX:ACB.TO), Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE:CGC) (TSX:WEED), MariMed Inc. (OTC:MRMD).

FORBES weighed in on the cultivation subject, that indoor/outdoor is not the most important component of making money and thriving in the cannabis cultivation marketplace. The article poses: "The current "green rush" has brought with it an intense focus on large-scale cannabis cultivation. Across the United States and around the globe, we routinely hear stories of companies building larger and larger cannabis farms. In Arizona, Colorado, California, and Oregon… While large-scale Canadian producers are building greenhouses in the millions of square feet and building similar-sized facilities in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere." It continues on to say that more acreage is not the way. "What investors should be more focused on is controlling brands and the distribution points for those brands. Simply put, in the long term it will be simply untenable for large-scale indoor cannabis producers in the United States and Canada to survive. Even greenhouse producers in most regions of the country will struggle to compete with low-cost production on the west coast and Latin America."

Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCPK:NUGS) BREAKING NEWS: Cannabis Strategic Ventures today announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent to partner with a Santa Barbara County cultivation operation that holds approximately 40 commercial cannabis licenses from the County of Santa Barbara, the California Bureau of Cannabis Control, the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch, and the CalCannabis Cultivation for growth, manufacturing and cultivation. The parties involved are working on a final agreement.

"As we increase Cannabis Strategic Ventures' stronghold in the California cannabis market, we are pursuing partnerships that are strategically aligned with our corporate growth plans," comments Simon Yu, CEO, Cannabis Strategic Ventures. "Obtaining access to a large batch of licenses located between the cannabis-friendly cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles will allow us to expedite our growth and scalability."

A Pew Research study from September states that 62% of Americans support legal cannabis, double the support recorded in 2000, highlighting increased acceptance for cannabis-friendly regulations. As consumer demand for recreational and medicinal cannabis continues to grow, industry leaders are forced to solidify suppliers for their distribution channels. "Cannabis Strategic Ventures is excited for 2019 and what increases in consumer demand could mean for our brand," comments Yu. "We remain focused on managing our business operations for growth and making sure we are well prepared to keep up with the momentum of the cannabis industry." Read this and more news for Cannabis Strategic Ventures at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-nugs
