hydroponics market expected to be worth more than $10 billion by 2023

into hemp market includes significant investment into hemp cultivation
- Hemp-derived
cannabidiol market worth $591 million, expected to hit $22 billion in

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), one of the largest publicly
traded hydroponics supply companies moving into the industrial hemp
space, is seeking to expand its portfolio with the acquisition of two
hydroponic cultivation companies working in the lucrative cannabis space.
Bringing the two companies into the Sugarmade fold “will not only significantly
boost our top line revenue growth, but will expand our distribution across the
most important sectors of the fast-growing cannabis marketplace,” Jimmy Chan,
Sugarmade’s CEO, said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/iguce).
The company’s formal acquisition proposals target a
profitable and cash-flow positive Southern California-based major supplier of
hydroponic cultivation supplies to the wholesale sector and to large commercial
cultivators. Under the terms of the proposal, Sugarmade would acquire the
organization, which is producing in excess of $40 million of revenue
per year, for a combination of cash and Sugarmade common stock. The second
target is a Washington state-based retailer, which is also profitable and
cash flow positive, producing approximately $5 million of revenue per
year. Under the terms of the proposal, Sugarmade would issue common stock to
acquire the retailer.
“In addition to the revenue growth opportunities, we will
also be afforded very meaningful cost savings across many operational
functions,” Chan stated in the release. “In particular, we believe there are
strong cost synergies relative to manufacturing, purchasing, international
transport, warehousing, and shipment to customers. Perhaps most exciting,
however, is that these acquisitions will place us among the largest public
companies in the booming cannabis sector.”
The global hydroponic market is expected to flourish over
the next five years, reaching a valuation of more than $10 billion by the end
of 2023, according to a report issued by KD Market Insights (http://ibn.fm/j3Suf). Rising
consumer demand for locally produced food and specialty crops such as cannabis
and related cannabidiol (CBD) products, including those produced with
industrial hemp, are expected to bolster profits. Regulatory changes in the
United States, Canada and parts of Europe that favor the legalization of some
form of cannabis are expected to provide significant opportunities for cannabis
retailers and companies such as Sugarmade that provide essential supplies and
services to the industry.
Sugarmade’s recent commitment of an investment of $1 million
in capital over the coming year into Hempistry, Inc.’s ultra-high CBD
industrial hemp cultivation project in Kentucky is seen as another strategic
move, Chan said when announcing the project (http://ibn.fm/3NbXG). An agreement to provide hemp
cultivation supplies is expected to add additional revenues.
“Demand for industrial hemp and products derived from hemp
is soaring, with no let-up in sight. We expect our direct investment into Hempistry
to be accretive to common shareholders and our supply agreement to be
lucrative. All of us at Sugarmade see a tremendous opportunity to become a
supplier to this fast-growing sector,” Chan stated in the news release.
