Why the CBD Edibles Market Could See $4.1 Billion in Sales by 2022

Palm Beach, FL – August 1, 2019 — Cannabis is quickly becoming one of the most industry-disruptive forces.  Multi-billion-dollar industries are already being uprooted by cannabis, including beverages, alcohol, beer, sports drinks, retailers, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, and the wellness industry, as the cultural renaissance just gets underway.  All thanks to growing acceptance following Canada’s October 2018 legalization, broad approval for its recreational and medicinal use throughout the U.S., and corporate interest.  It’s impacting a range of food, too. Everything from gummy bears and cookies to candy and brownies are being infused with CBD.  Better, consumer spending on cannabis-based food and drink reached $1 billion in 2017 just in the U.S. in Canada. By 2022, that could be up to $4.1 billion, according to analysts at Arcview Market Research.  That’s opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. (TSX-V: NSP) (OTCQB: NSPDF), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), and Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF).

In his role as Senior Manager, Export Development Agri-Foods for the BC Ministry, Rob was responsible for matching over 800 inbound Agri-Food International buyers to British Columbian companies and for leading international trade missions around the world with hundreds of BC Agri-Food companies.

Our first project together was the introduction of Naturally Splendid to the South Korean market which resulted in millions of dollars of purchase orders. From that initial opportunity we worked on several other successful projects. It’s with great enthusiasm that I take on the role of Business Development with Naturally Splendid. I will immediately begin to connect the Company to the multitude of business contacts that I have developed throughout the world over the past 3½ decades.” Naturally Splendid President Mr. Craig Goodwin states, “We are most fortunate to attract the level of businessman we have in Rob.
