    Israeli cannabis company 'Together' announced an agreement with a Canadian company to sell 50 tons of cannabis inflorescences or 5 tons of cannabis oil The company estimates the potential annual revenue from the deal at hundreds of millions of shekels. "This agreement joins other existing sales agreements in Canada and German totaling 30 tons. These agreements ensure the creation of revenue and cash flow that are not dependent on export approval from the State of Israel, and which will derive from the sale of medical cannabis and its products from areas that we will set up in countries outside of Israel that have the relevant export agreements", said Globus Pharma founding partner Nissim Bracha Israel, Ashkelon, April 11 2018 – 'Together' (TASE: TGTR) announced that its activity company 'Globus Pharma', which specializes in the medical cannabis sector and operates as a subsidiary of 'Together', has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to sell medical cannabis or oil to a Canadian company with a license to grow, produce and import medical cannabis to Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, the Canadian company will buy from Globus 50 tons of dried inflorescences of cannabis each year or five tons of medical cannabis oil (the equivalent amount to 50 tons of inflorescences) as part of the terms of the law in Canada and in Israel. In addition, the two companies will collaborate in the field of R&D and promoting technologies in the medical cannabis sector. As of the date of signing the agreement, the parties estimate that sales revenue will amount to between US$3.17 and US$4.7 per gram of inflorescence.
