Hydropothecary currently operates a 50,000 sq ft facility at Gatineau, Quebec with a production capacity of 3,600 kgs per year. The Company broke ground on the 250,000 sq. ft. greenhouse complex at the same facility in October 2017, which will increase the total production capacity to 25,000 kgs per year. The capacity expansion will allow Hydropothecary to fulfill its first year supply commitment of 20,000 kgs of cannabis products for the recreational market as part of its preferred supply agreement with the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ) in April 2018. To meet the total volume of more than 200,000 kgs over the five-year term as per the SAQ agreement, Hydropothecary plans to increase its total capacity to over 100,000 kgs per year of dried cannabis by constructing a new 1.0 million sq. ft. greenhouse on the newly-acquired 78 acres of land adjacent to its existing 65 acre Gatineau facility.
