VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Feb. 24, 2021 - PRESS RELEASE - Segra International Corp.,
an AgTech firm focused on cannabis tissue culture and BioAgronomics Group, an
internationally recognized cannabis breeding and consulting company, are
pleased to announce that they have entered into an agreement to distribute
numerous premium cannabis cultivars within the Canadian Market. Through decades
of genetic selection and intensive breeding efforts by world-renowned industry
experts, including Robert Clarke and Mojave Richmond, BioAgronomics Group has
developed a portfolio of proven classic and proprietary cannabis cultivars.
Now, through Segra’s Plant Tissue Culture technology, this premium genetic
catalog will be available to Canadian licensed producers and select
international markets for the first time.
“BioAgronomics Group is thrilled to be joining
forces with Segra International to advance the Canadian cannabis industry
through providing high-quality, unique cultivars,” commented Robert Clarke,
co-founder of BioAgronomics Group. “We expect this partnership will lead to
increased access to popular and agronomically productive cannabis cultivars for
licensed growers in Canada and internationally.”
In addition to the carefully
selected “classic cultivars” curated by BioAgronomics Group specialists, Segra
will also be able to supply proprietary and exclusive cannabis varieties from
the BioAgronomics Group portfolio. These proprietary genetics were bred for
potency and novel cannabinoid and terpene profiles, as well as ideal crop
morphology and heightened pathogen resistance. Preparing BioAgronomics Group’s
proven cultivars utilizing Segra’s tissue culture technology will ensure
consistently high-performing plants that offer high yields of enhanced THC and
terpene content. As with all Segra tissue culture products, the plantlets
arrive as verified clean stock. Segra and BioAgronomics Group are pleased to
offer these premium cultivars in our effort to help growers start with better
genetics to realize higher profits.
“We are incredibly excited
at the opportunity to partner with the team of industry-recognized experts at
BioAgronomics Group and offer their cultivars, through tissue culture, to
Canadian producers,” said Segra CEO Jamie Blundell. “BioAgronomics Group has a
tremendous amount of experience developing premium cannabis cultivars for
commercial production, and we’re honored that they are trusting Segra with
their valuable genetic IP. Partnerships with leading experts and breeders, like
BioAgronomics Group, combined with the benefits and biosecurity of plant tissue
culture, will help producers dramatically improve financial performance as the
industry and consumer preferences continue to evolve.”
