The organizations sealed the unprecedented agreement with AMUNAFRO during the recent visit of One World CEO Isiah Thomas to Colombia.  

Thomas, who is widely viewed as among the 50 greatest players in NBA history, continued.

“With this control over one million-plus acres dedicated to eco-enriching hemp production, we estimate that we will capture more carbon than the Amazon Rainforest will capture in comparable decades to come. Another benefit of the partnership is that we now may be the largest black-owned land organization in the Americas.” 

A Business Consortium Of Small And Emerging Businesses

Thomas explained the primary goal of this partnership is to serve the Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities through the formation of “a business consortium of small and emerging business entities with an interest in the cultivation of industrial hemp.”

Thomas described the agreement as a game-changer toward “improving the global environment as well as the lives of Indigenous people and Afro-Colombians for future generations.”

One World Products planted its first crop of cannabis in 2018 at its cultivation site in Popayan, Colombia and began harvesting in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company expects to supply its global clients with the highest quality industrial and commercial applications for cannabis, hemp and hemp products, including derivatives in crude oil, distillate as well as isolate forms with industrial-scale production to serve the global cannabis and hemp demand. Its products will be produced and tested according to GAP, GMP and ISO standards.
