In total, these 10 companies alone have plans to grow capacity to over 2.2 million kg per year over the next 1 to 3 years. This is more than 2x the expected domestic cannabis consumption (inclusive of black market sales and independent growers).

Other companies, outside of the top 10 also have plans to add capacity over this period. A standout example is Village Farms (VFF), a publicly traded company on the TSX with a 30 year history of growing hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers. VFF reports a potential 10x to 15x revenue enhancement by switching their agricultural production from vegetables to marijuana. The company has received its cultivation license and expects to grow 56,000 to 74,000 kg of cannabis in 2019. VFF reports that it could potentially increase its production to 300,000 kg per year (30% of expected market demand) if it converts its entire greenhouse operation to cannabis production.
There are already enough licenced producers to easily supply expected demand inside Canada and there is no reason to believe that additional licenses will not be granted. We believe that the Cannabis market has the potential to be massively oversupplied over the next 1 to 3 years. Such a scenario would make production cost competitiveness a key factor for success.
