New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV), the Colorado and Utah-based organic and natural beverage company helped drive interest in the infused beverage space when earlier this month, the company announced the distribution expansion of their Marley brand with Walmart, the world's largest retailer.

Following a complete redevelopment of the Marley portfolio following the acquisition by New Age in mid-2017, which included the development and launch of Organic Marley Mate and Marley Cold Brew, the Marley brand was one of New Age's leading brands in growth in 2018 with increased demand of more than 70%. Marley Mate led its segment and drove category growth and the resurgence of the Marley Mellow Mood Relaxation Drinks following its remake has paved the way for the launch of Marley Mellow Mood + CBD, which is launching globally in 2019.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH), a company focused on businesses in the health, beauty and biotech sectors, as well as on harnessing the powers of hydrogen and nano technologies paired with CBD to treat health disorders and enhance the quality of life, recently announced an additional financing agreement with an institutional investor at the same $0.40 valuation the Company received in January. Similar to the previous agreement, a substantial portion of the Company’s convertible debt will be retired. The retirement will be reflected in the Company’s 2nd quarter 2019 financials.  Per the terms of the agreement, the investor shall remain anonymous.  

American Premium CEO, Ryan Fishoff commented, “I am excited to announce that the Company has entered into this agreement for additional financing at a .40 valuation. I view this as an affirmation of the progress the Company has made over the past few months, which has included the large two container orders from a distributor in England, our partnership with Hanlons brewery to make a CBD infused beer, the release of independent scientific testing results affirming the efficacy of our proprietary Hydro Nano formulation, the acquisition of plant + body essentials, and the increase in domestic demand. The accomplishments that have been made so far this year are reflected in the $1 million FY19 guidance issued last week, this additional financing is a validation of the Company’s direction. There is still a lot of progress to be made achieving our business plan, but the financing will give the Company the ability to achieve and potentially exceed our fiscal year 2019 target.”

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) has also announced a recent distribution partnership with Scout Distribution, an innovative beverage distributor based in San Diego, California. Scout will be the official distributor of Oki beverages in the San Diego area, a region with over three million people that is also ranked as a top ten wellness market by the MINDBODY Wellness Index.

Elev8 Brands, Inc. (OTC: VATE) is aiming to build brand awareness having announced the release of its brand new, redesigned website and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) courtesy of Bright Rain.
“Elev8 Hemp worked closely with Bright Rain to create a beautiful, simple, and product-focused design to continue driving our sales and position ourselves as leaders in the CBD-infused beverage marketplace. Because of Bright Rain’s experience in the design and SEO business, they embraced our desire to disrupt the beverage market and create products that bring joy to our customers while providing new options for health and wellness.”
Infused beverages look to be the future of the beverage sector and are expected to get another large boost following the upcoming public hearing on CBD regulations that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is holding on May 31. The FDA announced earlier this month that it was accepting public comments on CBD regulations, and so far more than 400 people have already commented, saying that regulations should be light and companies should be able to lawfully market products containing CBD.

The #CBD Wave is Coming: How Companies are Prepared to Meet Market Demand: (NASDAQ: $VFF) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTCQB: $SOLCF) (CSE: $LOVE.C)


The #CBD Wave is Coming: How Companies are Prepared to Meet Market Demand: (NASDAQ: $VFF) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTCQB: $SOLCF) (CSE: $LOVE.C)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 28, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focusing on the rise of CBD within the overall cannabis market in the US and internationally, and how companies are preparing to deal with this explosive market.

With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill in the US, CBD represents a developing sector with many vendors now seeking national reach to US customers. The rise in popularity for CBD products is driven by consumers seeking natural-based health & wellness solutions to treat various ailments; from inflammation, to anxiety and insomnia amongst many others. As a result, the hemp-derived CBD market has been estimated to reach US $22 billion by 2022.


One of the larger companies in the CBD space, Village Farms International, Inc. (TSX: VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) recently applauded the actions of the Texas Department of Health and Human Services in de-scheduling hemp, including its cannabinoids (except for delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in compliance with the 2018 Farm Act and Texas law.  Under Texas law, the removal of hemp from the controlled substances schedule will be effective on April 5, 2019, 21 days after the schedule's publication. Texas still must pass a hemp bill to enable the creation of a State Hemp Plan under the 2018 Farm Act and develop a thoughtful regulatory regime to support the hemp industry and protect consumers.

With more CBD markets opening up, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH), a diversified luxury consumer products company focused on businesses in the health and beauty and biotech sectors, recently announced that it has engaged A&R Opportunity to manage and fund a national sales team based out of Northeast Ohio that will help market and sell the Company’s products nationwide. The arrangement was necessitated by overwhelming demand for the Company’s products, including its LALPINA CBD beverage and CBD topical products from its most recent acquisition of plant + body essentials.  
         
CEO of American Premium Water Corporation, Ryan Fishoff commented, “I am pleased to announce we have engaged with A&R to help oversee the Company’s national sales strategy. The inbound demand has been overwhelmingly strong and it became apparent over the past few weeks that the Company needed more assistance in managing and servicing sales accounts. Their location in Northeast Ohio also provides us with a presence in the Midwest, an area that we have not been focusing on, but over the past few months became clear to the Company was an area that needed to be addressed with burgeoning demand for CBD products. The terms of the agreement were also very favorable to the Company, as it is performance based, so all party’s incentives are aligned. This will be beneficial for the Company going forward as we look to continue to expand our distribution footprint nationwide and rollout new products in the coming months.” 

The non-alcoholic beverage marketplace is estimated to generate revenue of approximately USD$1.2 trillion by 2023, according to Markets and Research analysis. Companies employing innovative marketing strategies, more flavor choices, and the use of natural, high-quality ingredients will continue to drive market growth in the category.

This may explain why SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTCQB: SOLCF) just announced its investment in leading premium soda-maker Jones Soda Co.

SOL Global's total investment represents approximately 8.19% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Jones Soda which, based on publicly available information, makes it the company's largest stockholder. SOL Global has filed a Schedule 13D with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission describing its investment in Jones Soda.

Cannara Biotech Inc. (CSE: LOVE) is also looking into marketing and distribution for CBD, having recently announced that its subsidiary, Global shopCBD.com Inc. has closed private rounds of financing for aggregate proceeds of $8,865,849.15. 

From the news: "As the hemp CBD consumer markets continue to evolve, what is increasingly clear is the health and wellness segment is becoming more prominent," said Zohar Krivorot, President and CEO of Global shopCBD.com. "The high level of investor interest in participating in shopCBD.com underscores the potential of both CBD products overall and moreover, a best-in-class online platform to serve this market." 

There can be no doubt that the CBD sector is about to take off as consumers wait impatiently for products to become available, but is the industry properly prepared? As we saw with recreational cannabis in Canada, many companies are likely to be unprepared to keep up with supply, but there are numerous companies like the ones above heeding the warning signs and taking the proper preemptive actions to ensure they are ready when the CBD flood gates open.
