AMITYVILLE, NY, June 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNB) announced today that Green Grow Farms, www.greengrowfarmsinc.com, an operating subsidiary, has been granted a license by New York State to grow hemp. Under the Hemp Research Pilot Program Green Grow Farms can grow industrial hemp for grain, flower and Cannabidiol (CBD). The company is focused on hemp specific for CBD.
As previously announced Green Grow Farms has secured a processor and material supplier agreement with Lilu’s Garden, www.lilusgarden.com, one of the largest vertical Hemp processors in the world. The agreement is for an initial 2-year term and allows for a minimum of 2 million pounds of biomass to be processed to CBD isolate, and sold under a revenue sharing agreement. With average CBD percentage and processing efficiency rates from Green Grow's farming operations, two million pounds should process into approximately 40,000 kilograms of CBD Isolate. Today's current wholesale market rates for bulk sales of isolate are between $5,000 and $7,500 per kilogram. Green Grow Farms will be shipping all biomass to Lilu’s for processing under this agreement.
The company will be applying for a processor license in the State of New York as soon as the application window opens.
