Benchmark Botanics
BBT.CSE
The cannabis market is about supply and demand, the demand has dramatically increased due to Canadian recreational legalization in 2018, and for supply there is a reported 18-month shortage in Canada.
This is supported by the fact that Health Canada projects 450,000 patients will be using cannabis at $1.3 billion annual value by 2024.
A report from Canaccord Genuity Group predicted the combined annual demand for recreational and medical marijuana would reach 575,000 kilograms by 2021, which is a lot more than current Canadian producers are growing.
In the case of Benchmark Botanics they have existing production and they are expanding their capacity to meet the supply and demands of the market.
