Below is a quote from Brian Gaynor in Business Desk last week but he goes on in the article to say that the cannabis business is ’not all wine and roses’ ( my words)
“Meanwhile, forestry company ArborGen, formerly known as Rubicon, was asked at this week’s annual meeting whether it had any cannabis plans. Chief executive Andrew Baum enthusiastically replied “yes”.
He said the company was looking to grow hemp in South Carolina and NZ and emphasised that cannabis was an “active area” as far as ArborGen was concerned.
Cannabis is clearly a hot topic in NZ, even for companies that haven’t had an exposure to the product.”
