Terrace’s Global Assets

Terrace Global has 33.75% ownership of one of the two largest recreational cannabis licenses in Uruguay, is building a greenhouse facility dedicated to medical cannabis in Portugal, and has a low cost hemp operation in Spain. The company has approximately $20 million in cash, with $6.5 million allocated towards M&A and other opportunities.

“Much of the doom and gloom surrounding the cannabis industry over the past 12 months has been a result of regulatory rules in North America that do not adequately promote the industry,” Francisco Oritz von Bismarck, co-founder and CEO of Terrace, told Benzinga. “Based upon our team’s shared experiences, we’ve developed a different approach. We have acquired assets in countries where the growing climate, capex requirements and domestic markets allow for viable businesses. We are also working towards securing additional operations in other low-cost jurisdictions, with progressive regulatory regimes, and strong domestic demand.”
