Lorne Gertner, Hon. Jim Peterson, Maria Consuelo Araujo and Jonathan Goldman on the International Advisory Board.
“Terrace Global has taken a unique approach to the development of its business. Focusing its cultivation and operations footprint in the nascent European Union market is an important differentiator for the Company. Terrace Global’s footprint and knowledge in Portugal, in particular, gives the Company a unique advantage in the EU. I am looking forward to working with the team as they continue to develop the Company’s extraction and product capabilities with a view to leveraging its low-cost cultivation,” commented Mr. Moallem. “Terrace Global’s relationship with The Flowr Corporation (TSXV: FLWR) provides it a quality partner with extensive experience growing high quality cannabis. The foundation of any cannabinoid derivative product is the cultivation standards and genetics underpinning the ultimate product, whether that be finished or bulk form. These companies have found a way to work together to leverage each other’s expertise and advantages. I am excited to be a part of the Company and look forward to seeing it grow into a future global leader in the industry.”
