Marapharm Ventures Inc. provides production update at Las Vegas facilities

CSE: MDM   FSE: 2Mo   OTCQB:MRPHF

KELOWNA, BC, Nov. 16, 2017 /CNW/ - Marapharm Ventures Inc. ("Marapharm" or the "Company") provides an update as to its production at its interim facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company reports that the mother plants continue to grow healthy and strong in the interim facility grow room.  The plants are being grown in full organic soil under a no-till biodynamic program. This will ensure compliance with certifications offered by industry partners and provide the healthiest mother plants possible. Healthy mothers translate to healthy clones. Since the mother plants have started to branch out, the cloning process has begun. The cloning process will ensure new moms can be chosen to help in producing high numbers of clones for production.  A substantial number of clones will go towards the first revenue producing crop. 500 clones have already been prepped to be transitioned into the starter buildings once completed.  Each mother plant can produce up to 100 clones per month. Each clone produces about 1/4 pound of product with a current market price of up to $800.00 per clone.

"The plants are growing like crazy! Marapharm will soon be the revenue model we envisioned from the beginning. The buildings we have are state of the art and have been custom designed to be flexible and expandable across our operations to assure that harvests will be protected. Operating costs are estimated at 20% less than a conventional system and prices for cannabis products are presently double what we originally estimated. This is great news for our shareholders!" Linda Sampson, Marapharm CEO.
