MONCTON – Marijuana producer Organigram has signed a supply agreement with the province of British Columbia, the company announced Friday.

Moncton-based Organigram is a leading licensed producer of cannabis for both the medical and adult-use recreational markets. In British Columbia, Organigram has signed an agreement with the BC Liquor Distribution Branch, the sole, wholesale distributor of non-medical cannabis for the province that will operate standalone, public retail stores and provide online sales.

“Organigram’s strategic vision has always been to establish a definitive national footprint,” says Greg Engel, Organigram’s CEO. “We are proud to realize that vision and offer Canadians from coast to coast access to our growing recreational product portfolio.”

To date, the Company has secured cannabis distribution agreements in eight of ten provinces and offers products from its adult-recreational portfolio of brands, which include Edison Cannabis Company, Ankr Organics, Trailblazer and Trailer Park Buds.

“We are excited to work with partners across the country, now including the Province of British Columbia to help ensure the success of new adult-use recreational cannabis markets in each of these regions,” says Tim Emberg, Organigram’s vice-president of sales and commercial operations.

The only provinces the company doesn’t have supply agreements with are Saskatchewan and Quebec.

“We’ve had strong working relationships with retail and regulatory partners in every market in Canada, and will continue to monitor the requests from those markets as we move forward with our production plans,” said Ray Gracewood, Organigram’s chief commercial officer, in an email to Huddle.

“Our plan is to have manageable, responsible growth that aligns with our production plans and expectations for market share in each province.”
