United Cannabis Corporation CNAB announced Tuesday that it has been contracted to supply a single customer with its hemp-derived CBD isolate oil for 100 weeks.
The market value of the contract is from $30 to $42 million, United said.
This is the company’s second material agreement since the formation of its Colorado-based MEAD facility in June, where the CBD isolate will be processed, CEO Earnest Blackmon said in a statement.
“Together these agreements represent seven times the revenue than we reported in 2018, and we are still only at a fraction of our existing capacity,” Blackmon said, adding that the demand for hemp-derived, CBD-infused products has "exploded" since the passing of the Farm Bill.
Yet only a handful of states have established markets, and Colorado is in the lead, the CEO said.
