Accordingly, we have entered into supply agreements with cultivation partners where we can assist production using our 10 years of expertise through the life cycle of medical cannabis products. We will continue to build our foundation with similar partnerships with the view of advancing IMC branded products as first choice products in both Israel and Europe," says Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC.
