Agricultural technology innovator GP Solutions (OTC: GWPD) recently signed an agreement with rapper, media personality and business builder Snoop Dogg to dedicate some of the company’s innovative and automated micro-farms to a co-branding venture with the ganjapreneur, developing a series of its trademarked GrowPods to be configured as ‘Snoop’s Premium Nutrients Pods’.
The deal is part of a venture through which GP Solutions will become a distributor of Snoop’s Premium Nutrients, a premier product line developed in Holland for the cannabis market (http://ibn.fm/pzHE5). Snoop Dogg is a longtime advocate of legal cannabis, and customers who purchase one of his branded pods will receive a six-month supply of the premium nutrients as part of each package.
GP Solutions debuted the first Snoop’s Premium Nutrients Pods at the CannaCon South convention in Oklahoma City in late September. The company’s GrowPods are designed for easy operation, streamlining the start-up process to allow users of all levels of experience to begin farming and generating revenue as rapidly as possible.
“Our Snoop’s Premium Nutrients Pods were the hit of the show,” GP Solutions CEO George Natzic stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/MsYHh). “Not only was the interest level incredibly high, but we are also in the process of closing multitudes of deals.”
It’s been a little over a year since Oklahoma voters approved one of the most business-friendly medical marijuana initiatives in the country, granting the state its status as the only market in the United States where more grower licenses have been issued than dispensaries and processors combined, according to Marijuana Business Daily (http://ibn.fm/KMd4z).
GP Solutions announced at the beginning of September that it will open a GrowPod showroom and sales office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in a facility that will also feature a training and educational center to teach students about new advances in high-tech agriculture and to train customers on the operation of GrowPods (http://ibn.fm/m4KkM).
The company’s Oklahoma operation, scheduled to open to the public later this month, will place it at the heart of the exploding legal cannabis industry, but also in the heartland of one of the largest agriculture markets in the world. GrowPods have previously been used to cultivate clean and healthy vegetables and herbs for a variety of markets, including restaurants, grocery, organics, farm stands and traditional farming, allowing for growth of a new category of ‘Superfoods’ that are “better than organic.”
GrowPods’ advantages include an average of eight-times more yield than other forms of agriculture, indoor cultivation that provides year-round growth and consequently greater opportunity for generating revenue, portability that allows the pods to be set up virtually anywhere, high water and power resource efficiency, and easy scalability thanks to the stackable pod design.
The pods are also pesticide-free and protected from bacteria through the utilization of sealed environments.
“The Oklahoma Center has the potential to become a tremendous growth driver for the company,” Natzic stated.
Regarding the Snoop’s Premium Nutrients Pods, he added, “This is an enormous opportunity for our company that will heighten visibility in the cannabis market and give growers a complete solution for rapid and robust cultivation. We are now positioned as the most complete turnkey system in the industry.”
The company applied to uplist to the OTCQX Best Market in September, anticipating that it will be able to provide “additional transparency with our shareholders and wider communications with the investing community” while meeting more stringent market cap and revenue requirements (http://ibn.fm/iyKwC).
