VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Isracann Biosciences Inc.


(CSE: IPOT) (XFRA: A2PT0E) (OTC: ISCNF) (the “Company” or “Isracann”) an Israel-based company focused on becoming a premier low cost, high quality cannabis producer/distributor is pleased to announce that the Company has determined to advance foreign importation of Cannabis into Israel in response to perceived opportunity.

The Israeli market for medical cannabis continues to grow at a rapid pace. Now with over 80,000 medical patients (

IMCA data

), the domestic growers are struggling to keep up with demand. This is good news for Isracann’s farm, which is coming online in the near term.

Additionally, this gap in supply has created a robust cannabis importation market. It has been apparent for some time that Israel has had to rely on Cannabis importation to meet domestic needs. In fact,

reports

indicate that it is currently the world’s largest importer of Cannabis flower, having surpassed Germany. Recent

reports

also note Israel has subsequently increased importation quality assurance (QA) requirements. These stringent regulations have eliminated some candidate countries (e.g.: Uruguay) from import licensing. Isracann has observed the situation and noted an uptick in demand and acceptance of increasingly desirable Canadian flower.

Recent talks with Isracann’s growing network of Israeli stakeholders, distributors and agents have resulted in the determination to leverage the Company’s Canadian roots as motivation to gain approvals to establish importation as part of the Company’s strategic plan. The addition of import sales will provide several positive advantages including an additional revenue stream, brand differentiation with strains not yet introduced to the Israeli market, and an ability to test internal processing facilities and trial distribution arrangements both domestically and through resales to European partners.

To facilitate and expedite the process, Isracann has entered into an agreement with United Greeneries Ltd. the cultivation subsidiary of Costa Canna Group to export Canadian cannabis on an exclusive basis into Israel and with a non-exclusive agreement for entry into the European markets. Under this agreement, Isracann will enjoy an ability to source both United Greeneries grown, and Canadian 3

^rd

party grown product, which effectively provides access to the entire Canadian marketplace.

Company COO Matt Chatterton states, “Our long-term relations in Canada have just provided us an opportunity which provides us great leverage. We gain a fast track to revenues by supplying highly desirable Canadian flower products to our medical market in Israel, build significant brand awareness in doing so, and have the decided advantage of having a processing facility operationally prepared that not only meets all our domestic regulatory QA needs, but also meets the European EU-GACP and EU-GMP requirements.”

“We are ready to begin this new aspect of our venture and this agreement with Costa Canna provides a great deal of experience and flexibility,” Chatterton notes. “We achieve immediate access to established specialty strains including ones that include ultra high THC, high CBD, balanced, and specialty craft-grown strains through a partner with the ability to supply flower, oils and prepackaged products. In addition, we are already partnered with a leading Israeli logistics team who has the knowledge and expertise when it comes to managing shipping and importation requirements. This is an exciting opportunity for us, and for our shareholders as we look forward to building added value and exciting momentum in the coming weeks and months ahead.”
