Aurora Cannabis is partnering with Alfred Pedersen & Son to produce cannabis for medical use in Europe.
The greenhouses used for tomatoes can be converted to grow the drug as both plants have similar growth needs.
The joint venture will focus on selling cannabis in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
Aurora Nordic Cannabis will build a production facility that can produce up to 120,000 kg of cannabis annually, Aurora said.
Alfred Pedersen was granted a licence to cultivate cannabis from Denmark's Medicines Agency this week.
