The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. entered a joint venture with LLACA Grupo Empresarial to create an equally owned new company for entering the medicinal cannabis market in Mexico.

The Canadian medical cannabis producer said LLACA has access to distributors with commercialized pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products and will facilitate the import, registration and strategic distribution of the company's organic cannabis and hemp-derived medical products into the Mexican market.

The joint venture will give Green Organic full access to LLACA's strategic services, including distribution, warehousing, product registrations, regulatory representations and clinical trials.

Green Organic's CEO, Brian Athaide said in a statement, "this partnership combined with the recently proposed regulations for the Mexican medicinal cannabis market provides TGOD with a significant first mover advantage, at scale."

Athaide said the venture is key to the company's strategy of exporting its products produced in Jamaica and Poland, and soon from Canada and Denmark, to the global markets.
