(MENAFN- Baystreet.ca) New cannabis-infused products continue tohit shelves in major markets across North America, and into Europe. This hasled to major competition among products on store shelves coming from brandingand packaging innovators such as The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF),Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB) (OTC:GGBXF), Curaleaf Holdings,Inc. (CSE:CURA) (OTC:CURLF), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII) (OTC:GTBIF), and 1933 Industries Inc. (CSE:TGIF) (OTC:TGIFF).
Much of this new cannabis wave is derivedfrom an increase in availability of cannabis products, gaining approval inmajor markets.
One such market is Oregon, whereStatistaprojects to be worth nearly $1 billion by2022. Recently, The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF) received finalpackaging approval from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) for 6Wright & Well cannabis topicals and tinctures to be distributed in the Pacific Northwest state.
The initial 6 approved Wright & Wellproducts are Be Chill Tincture (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source); BeBetter CBD Tincture (CBD: hemp source); Be Better CBD Extra Strength Tincture(CBD: hemp source); Be Relieved Pain Gel (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hempsource); Be Free Pain Balm (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source); and BeLoved Massage Oil (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source)
"The OLCC packaging approval is one of themost rigorous processes to complete before products can be legally manufacturedand sold in Oregon," said Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth. "Now that we havesuccessfully completed the process, we have cleared the final hurdle, and weexpect manufacturing to be complete in early July, and sales to begin in late-July."
The products will be distributed in Oregon byNova Paths, an Oregon-based cannabis licensed distributor that has establishedrelationships with over 400 licensed cannabis retail stores. Targeted towardswellness-minded consumers, the products incorporate the highest quality CBD,THC, hemp root oil and terpenes to support a healthy lifestyle.
The approval came on the heels of thecompany'sprevious announcementof a lineof cannabidiol (CBD) W & W products in California.
YieldGrowth has seized upon the global CBD market as a huge opportunity. Anew studyfrom BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Researchprojected thissegment of the cannabis market alone could be worth $20 billion by 2024. Thisfigure is a significant jump from estimated retail sales of CBD products in2018, which ranged from $600 million to $2 billion.
Inorder to gain attention from new customers as this market continues to open up,targeted branding like that of Wright & Well products is needed. As giantmainstream retail chains such as CVS Health, Kroger, and Walgreens work towardscarrying more cannabis-infused products on their shelves, it's innovation fromthe products' manufacturers that will likely be seen as being increasinglyimportant through this cannabis revolution.
