Canopy Growth Moves Into Africa With Purchase of Cannabis Company in Lesotho

The $28.8-million deal brings Canopy Growth to its fifth continent.


Canopy announced Wednesday the $28.8-million purchase of Daddy Cann Lesotho PTY Ltd. The facility is in a mountainous area that receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year, has ideal humidity and growing conditions for greenhouse cannabis and low operating costs, said Canopy in a release. “This places Canopy in a growth position to produce large quantities of high quality medical cannabis at a low cost.” [Editor's note: Daddy Cann Lesotho trades as "Highlands."]
