The quest for cannabis supply especially in the developed countries is exponentially increasing and with the national mandate to have local content particularly in manufacturing has led ARK GROUP to embark on the transformation of the healthcare system through the use of cannabis products. ARK GROUP will be own, lease or have equity inland, where the facilities of over 500 hectares will be utilised for cultivation, processing, a Cannabis Lab and Cannabis Research and Development (R&D) with a Testing Facility. The facilities are well-positioned and match the weather and soil requirements for cannabis cultivation. The business will be launching with an outlet in Brits, other outlets will be key locations in later stages. ARK GROUP concentrates are the cleanest, most accessible way to extract most of the beneficial aspects of the cannabis plant.Our Company intends to combine small family business hospitalitywith big business, efficiency to provide high-quality cannabis-products to licensed retailers in a clean and safe environment.Presently, the acceptance of cannabis use still bears a stigma to the majority of South Africans since they were only exposed to its use through smoking. This creates avenues for public awareness, training, development, and research so that the benefit of cannabis is extensively capitalised. These segmented business units will be achieved and maintained by successfully exploiting the expertise of our highly skilled multi-disciplinary technical team and partners.
