Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. and Village Farms International, Inc. this week announced the approval from Health Canada for an amendment regarding the cultivation licence for the partnership’s Delta 3 greenhouse.
The companies, calling their joint venture Pure Sunfarms, are now permitted to expand the current cannabis production area to 550,000 square feet, double the original permit.
The entire Delta 3 production facility covers 1.1 million square feet. Pure Sunfarms hopes to have the entire Delta 3 facility converted to cannabis production by the end of the year.
Delta 3 has an automated process line encompassing harvesting, trimming, drying and packaging.
Pure Sunfarms received its cannabis sales licence from Health Canada in July, permitting it to immediately begin selling product.
