LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Akanda Corp. (“Akanda” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CanMart Ltd. (“CanMart”), has entered into a distribution agreement with Australia-based Cannim to bring the award-winning Lumir range of medical cannabis products to UK patients. CanMart will import and distribute Cannim’s full-spectrum medical cannabis oil products over a five-year agreement. Cannim satisfies the Australian market with an award-winning Lumir CBD50 which was recently recognised as CBD Product of the Year at the Australian Cannabis Industry Awards.
“Patients in the UK will now have access to Cannim’s high-quality Jamaica-grown medical cannabis products for the first time,” said Tej Virk, CEO and Director of Akanda. “This is another step in our effort to establish an international supply chain based on a unique ‘open marketplace’ model that provides patients with maximum choice. By bringing together the best third-party products from around the world and combining it with our own high-quality products cultivated at our Bophelo campus in Lesotho from DNA Genetics, we are democratizing access to medical cannabis.”
Added Stuart Marsh, Cannim’s Chief Commercial Officer, “The UK is an important link in a string of new market entries obtained by Cannim in recent months, including securing access to the burgeoning German medicinal cannabis market in August launching into Australia under the Hummingbud brand in September. Thanks to our partnership with CanMart, we are pleased to add the UK to that footprint. We have been impressed by CanMart’s deep expertise and knowledge of the UK market, which has been instrumental in securing the relevant approvals to introduce British patients to our products.”
