Multiple Reports Project Increasing Revenues for Global Cannabis Markets

PALM BEACH, Florida, March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone who has been trying to keep abreast of where the cannabis markets are and where they may be going, revenue-wise, will have undoubtedly come across revenue projections in the headlines of almost every article. There is a reason for that. In fact, its because it seems that most, if not all projections, foreshadow all the ones that have come before. It seems as if every new report exceeds the projections from the previous report. Whether the numbers are right or wrong, they certainly paint a confident picture of future growth and more growth.  One of the first such reports was discussed in The Rolling Stone, which said: "For years, experts have predicted that if the cannabis industry expands at its current rate, the American market will reach $20 billion by 2020. But it turns out that one market is spinning off into a mega-industry of its own: according to a new estimate from cannabis industry analysts, the hemp-CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022.   Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include:  Player's Network, Inc. (OTC: PNTV), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTC: TGODF), Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA), Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: N) (OTC: NXTTF).

A Forbes article, quoting another report, added: "…over the next 10 years, the legal cannabis industry will see much progress around the globe. Spending on legal cannabis worldwide is expected to hit $57 billion by 2027. The adult-use (recreational) market will cover 67% of the spending; medical marijuana will take up the remaining 33%.  The largest group of cannabis buyers will be in North America, going from $9.2 billion in 2017 to $47.3 billion a decade later. The largest growth spread, however, is predicted within the rest-of-world markets, from $52 million spent in 2017 to a projected $2.5 billion in 2027."

Player's Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV) BREAKING NEWS:  Player's Network, is in the process of changing its name to Green Leaf Farms International, Inc. PNTV/GLFI, a rapidly growing company in the worldwide cannabis market and CBD industries, with operations in Nevada and now Argentina, announced today that together with its Argentina joint venture partner, Cannava, it has received approval from the Argentine government to import cannabis seeds from the United States into Jujuy Province, Argentina.

This is the first time the Argentine government has approved such a venture. PNTV previously announced approval of seeds from a security standpoint, this approval, by the highest government agencies, was given exclusively to the joint venture with the goal of establishing Jujuy Province as the world's leading supplier of cannabis oils, distillates, isolates, and biomass to a rapidly growing and underserved worldwide market.

As those knowledgeable of the industry know, there is an explosion of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health-related cannabis-infused products entering the global marketplace. At the present time most of these products are being introduced by small, start-up companies, although press reports indicate that the market demand is becoming so large and expanding so rapidly that a number of Fortune 500 companies in a wide range of industries including soft drink, adult beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and other health related industries are developing their own CBD-infused products.

This greatly increased demand for cannabis raw materials - CBD (and in some countries THC) Oils, Distillates and Isolates – will soon make these a commodity like other agricultural products.  The company that dominates this market niche will be the one that establishes itself as the lowest cost, highest quality, reliable supplier. That supplier will be Green Leaf Farms International!

As previously announced, working in partnership with Jujuy Province, GLFI and its joint venture partner have negotiated a 99-year lease on 14,000 hectares or 34,600 acres (54 square miles) of prime agricultural land. The temperate climate near the equator allows virtually year-round growing conditions.  In addition, working with the Argentine government, a tax-free trade zone has been established for the processing and worldwide distribution of the cannabis oils, distillates, isolates, and biomass grown on this land.  Due to the quality of the land, ideal year-round growing conditions, low-cost agriculturally skilled labor force and, most importantly, absence of burdensome regulations and taxes, the company believes this joint venture with Argentina positions it to produce the highest quality, lowest cost raw materials that will enable GLFI to be the dominant player in this exploding worldwide market.  Read this entire press release and more news for PNTV at:   https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-pntv/
