Medcan reports significant progress
Founded with a single vision to provide Australian patients with a high quality, fair priced product, Medcan Australia has been positioned to be a front runner in the Australia Medicinal Cannabis Industry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has made significant progress over the past month: - Medcan receives first imported products:

|
|
|
|
- Medcan successfully sells 90% of its first shipment
- "This is one of our most significant milestones to date. It validates Medcan’s short term revenue strategy and is the start of Medcan’s strategic penetration into the Australian market. It sets a solid foundation for the Medcan Australia brand which will continue to be built on with the addition of further products and ultimately the transition to Australian produced Medcan products.
|
|
|
|
- Medcan features on Mergermarket
- "Brisbane-based ‘seed-to-sale’ cannabis cultivator and manufacturer Medcan Australia is actively seeking strategic partners, including joint venture (JV) opportunities, for market entry and overseas outreach"
|

- Medcan receives import permits for significant volume of full range of products
- "“We are now in a position to significantly increase our market share allowing us to provide patients with more cost effective products, whilst increasing our short term revenue."
|

In the meantime, The Green Fund, a global media house focused on the Cannabis industry, reported that Australian patient access skyrocketed 23% in October:
"Another record month for medicinal cannabis approvals in Australia via the Special Access Scheme Category B route! 3,594 approvals were issued in October 2019." |

Qponics update
"Progress in upgrading the algae farm in Brisbane" |
|
|
|
"During November 2019 it is planned to complete the production of 1,000 kg of Nannochloropsis paste from the upgraded algae farm to be freeze-dried, which will then be stable for a prolonged period at -20o C.
This will provide plentiful whole dried algae for separation of EPA-rich oil and the protein-rich by-product for analysis and assessment by companies seeking to buy the products." |
