Xebra Satisfies Terms To Acquire Mexican Subsidiary, Gains First-Mover Advantage In CBD & CBG Market

Desart has been granted an injunction by the Mexican Supreme Court giving it a first-mover advantage in the Mexican CBD and CBG market. Official licenses will be granted by the Mexican Health Regulatory Agency (COFEPRIS) in due course. The Supreme Court decision is irrevocable and cannot be appealed.

Xebra highlighted that it's working towards using the first-mover advantage; it's in discussions to secure up to 300 hectares of suitable land for cultivation. Furthermore, several Canadian and American companies with cannabis processing and extraction expertise have expressed an interest in partnering in Mexico.

The company injunction applies specifically to the industrial cannabis sector, and explicitly to cannabis with low levels of THC (under 1%), meaning hemp cultivation and processing for the manufacture and sale of CBD and CBG products.
