Australian hydroponics company RotoGro (ASX: RGI) has secured an order from a Canadian cannabis producer worth $2.3 million.
Miracle Valley, a Health Canada Licensed Producer, is currently building a 29,000 square foot cultivation and manufacturing facility in British Colombia.
Phase one of the facility is comprised of 10,000 square feet of grow rooms which will be outfitted with RotoGro's hydroponic garden system, as well as the company's iGrow software management system.
The $2.3 million order from Miracle Valley will be part of the Canadian company's first large-scale facility licensed by Health Canada, acting as a flagship to promote further larger orders.
RotoGro will provide onsite assembly, installation, testing, certification, training and growing management support.
The Canadian company predicts the facility will produce 5,400kg of lawful cannabis per year.
