Plant Based Products Gain Momentum-From #Food to #Wellness; (OTCQB: $RVIV) (NYSE: $INGR) (NASDAQ: $BYND) (NASDAQ: $TYHT)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – August 13, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resources covering wellness and food stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued rise of plant based/vegan products in the food and wellness sectors.

“Vegan” “organic” “plant based” - these are all terms that are becoming more commonplace when addressing consumer expectations in many industries and many companies, as well as investors, are taking note.

A research study by Persistence Market Research also supports the growth of the market stating, “The global plant based proteins market is witnessing high growth in the coming years. It is poised to register a robust CAGR of 5.7% throughout the period of forecast 2017-2025. In 2017, the global market was viewed at US$ 10.5 Bn and with this growth rate, it is estimated to reach a value of around US$ 16.3 Bn by the end of 2025.”

Reviv3 Procare Company (OTCQB: RVIV), a manufacturer of plant-based salon products designed for modern hair care challenges announced that it appointed Gerry Udell, Inc. as representatives of its professional salon products for the states of Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Maine, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Maryland.


“Gerry Udell is a highly respected manufacturer’s rep organization with a reputation of excellence in the professional beauty space. We believe this partnership will significantly expand our market exposure and strengthen our position in the Northeast territories,” said Donald Starace, President of Reviv3.

Gerry Udell Inc. is the largest regional sales agency in the professional beauty industry. The family owned company has been in business for fifty-eight years. Gary Udell, President of Gerry Udell stated, “Our company feels that the Reviv3 hair treatment system has already been tested and proven to be effective in the prevention of hair loss. We believe there is a great opportunity in this category in the professional beauty field.” According to Udell, the company has already targeted prospective distributorships that will be able to promote and expand the line to leading salons and spas. Udell stated, “Our entire organization believes Reviv3 Procare will become a major brand in the Professional Beauty industry.”

Reviv3 salon products were initially launched in exclusive salons in Italy and New York. The products include a line of hair cleansing, moisturizing, thickening agents, restoratives and environmental defense products that address the hair care challenges of the human body in transition. The company is committed to the cause of thinning hair by restoring the strength, protein and critical moisture that is degraded over time by using the highest quality active ingredients found in nature to create professional grade products that simply work.

Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, recently announced it will further expand its manufacturing and production capabilities in Vanscoy, Saskatchewan with Verdient Foods, Inc. As part of this investment, the Company has begun construction on a new manufacturing facility to produce specialty pulse-based protein ingredients. The new facility, which is expected to be operational in the second half of 2020, significantly increases the Company’s food processing capabilities to meet the growing consumer demand for plant-based proteins.

“We’ve advanced our specialty strategy to capitalize on the trends shaping the food industry,” said Ingredion’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jim Zallie. “Our latest investment will significantly expand our product portfolio to provide more innovative solutions to our customers, which will enable future growth. Ingredion and Verdient also share a common vision that sustainable and trusted sourcing will play an important role in the future of consumer-preferred plant-based proteins.”

Jim Cameron stated, “I’m excited to further our relationship with Ingredion, which will power significant expansion of plant-based proteins to consumers around the world. By working together, we have an amazing opportunity to be leaders in the next wave of global food production, which will have a lasting impact on future generations.”

“By combining our expertise in product formulation with Verdient’s high-quality Canadian-sourced pulses, we are uniquely positioned to be a reliable source supporting manufacturers as they create great-tasting and affordable plant-based proteins for food and beverages,” said Igor Playner, Vice President of plant-based proteins at Ingredion.

Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in the plant based protein market as well as a company that has reached a very high news profile, recently announced that it no longer has plans to enter the Japanese market and will focus more on the US market, according to a Reuters report.

The Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co Ltd., which has a small stake in Beyond Meat told Reuters it no longer plans to sell plant-based meat alternatives in Japan.

Beyond Meat company has signed a deal to start producing its plant-based meat substitutes in Europe in 2020, according to a CNBC report. The company has partnered with Zandbergen World’s Finest Meat to make its vegan meat alternatives in the Netherlands at a new manufacturing facility.

With its focus on the US as well as Canada, the company recently announced that Subway has partnered with Beyond Meat to test plant-based protein options starting this September.
The restaurant will trial the Beyond Meatball Marinara Sub in 685 participating restaurants in Canada and the United States.

“Our guests want to feel good about what they eat and they also want to indulge in new flavors. With our new plant-based Beyond Meatball Marinara Sub, we are giving them the best of both worlds. And, we are particularly excited about debuting a co-developed product that can't be found anywhere else: the Beyond Meatball made just for Subway," says Len Van Popering, Subway's Chief Brand and Innovation Officer.

According to a recent report from Research and Markets, Global Vegan Cosmetics Market 2019-2023, “with rising awareness about the negative impacts of animal-derived products, the demand for vegan products, including vegan cosmetics has also increased. Moreover, vegan cosmetics are manufactured from natural or plant-based ingredients which are beneficial for the skin. Vegan cosmetics improve skin health and reduce the chances of acne, dark circles, and other skin abnormalities. Hence, the preference for vegan products is rising among consumers which, in turn, is fueling the growth of the vegan cosmetics market at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period.”

Shineco, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYHT), a producer and distributor of Chinese herbal medicines, organic agricultural produce, specialized textiles, and various health and well-being focused plant-based products in China, recently announced that the Company expects to launch hemp based cosmeceutical products on the Chinese market in August 2019 under its brand, LABEE.

The Company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement (the “Agreement”) with Heilongjiang Harbin Beima Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“HBTD”) on July 19, 2019 for industrial hemp related research, production, and sales including cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals, health care products, etc.

Previously, the company gained the exclusive use right of the hemp seed “M11” (the CBD of which can reach 2.97%) through the Institute of Bast Fiber Crops, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science. The company also jointly developed CBD processing and extraction equipment with the Robot Team of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Mr. Yuying Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shineco commented, “This is another milestone in our path to realize the potential of industrial hemp industrialization. For the product development under the LABEE brand, we cooperated with a team of world-class engineers and scientists.”

Mr. Zhang continued, “We have completed the research and development of 18 products under the LABEE brand with CBD as the main component, including hemp leaf active repair mask series, hemp leaf beauty brightening mask and hemp leaf care mask. Experiments have proved that these products have anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and antioxidant effects, and can be used to relieve skin sensitization and redness, establish protective barriers for skin surface, improve skin self-repair, and treat eczema. We expect to launch these products in China in August before introducing them to the global market in the future.”

This demand for plant based products falls in line with many other “millennial trends” that have taken off as of late, as a larger number of consumers continue to care more about their personal health as well as environmental impact. This puts a strong emphasis on companies to begin focusing on plant based products that can be developed sustainably, not only for consumers but for investors as well, who are taking note of this growing trend, particularly seeing the meteoric rise of Beyond Meat. Whether considering hair care, cosmetics or the food we eat, plant based products continue to lead the way into the future.

Delta, Kelowna, BC –August 12, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today's podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few early announcements.

Pasha Brands Ltd. (CSE: CRFT) (OTC:CRFTF), North America's largest craft cannabis brand house, announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, BC Craft Supply Co. Ltd, has signed a supply agreement with Canada's first licensed micro processor, North 40 Cannabis.

Founded by Gord Nichol in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, North 40 Cannabis received its micro-cultivation and micro-processing licences from Health Canada on July 26, 2019. Under the agreement with Pasha, North 40 will supply BC Craft with North 40's annual production, to be sold as dried flower and other cannabis products in Canada.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to have signed an agreement with a company like Pasha," said Gord Nichol, founder of North 40 Cannabis. "They have shown micro cultivators like me that they are dedicated to ensuring craft producers in Canada will flourish under legalization. I'm excited to move ahead and looking forward to our first harvest this year." North 40 Cannabis will plant its first legal crop in August 2019 and harvest later in the fall.

With Canada's current licensed cannabis producers only able to supply an estimated 15 percent of what Canadians are consuming, Pasha is optimistic that, in addition to its previously established supply agreement with Hearst Organic, this new supply agreement with a licensed micro cultivator and micro processor will help correct the cannabis supply imbalance and bring exciting new products to market. Each micro cultivator in Canada will be able to produce approximately 500 kilograms of cannabis per year, while each micro processor can process up to 600 kilograms of cannabis per year. Canada has tens of thousands of craft producers operating in the illicit cannabis market and Pasha's wholly-owned subsidiary BC Craft Supply Co. is focused on helping as many small farmers transition into the regulated market as possible.

"Signing this agreement with Canada's first microprocessor is very significant as it affirms BC Craft's business model with not only the micro-cultivation market but also now with processors," said Jason Longden, CEO of Pasha Brands in reaction to the news. "North 40 has established a state-of-the-art cultivation and processing facility and we are proud to work with such an innovative team. This is simply the next step in fulfilling our goal of becoming the biggest producer of craft cannabis products in Canada and I'm confident North 40 will help us bring Canadians more of the cannabis that they're looking for.”

Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF), an extraction technology company that owns a portfolio of issued and pending patents pertaining to the Company's industrial-scale process of extraction and purification of cannabinoids, announced that the completion of two research and development projects with the National Research Council of Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program ("IRAP"), and the Natural Science and Engineering Council ("NSERC").

During the yearlong IRAP project, Nextleaf successfully developed a media treatment process to remove undesirable elements such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins from crude extract. The project was conducted using common hops (Humulus lupulus), a suitable analog for cannabis as the two are genetically related, and contain a similar pigment and oil profile.

The five-person research team - including four PhDs - was led by Nextleaf's Engineering Manager, Krupal Pal, PhD, P.Eng. "We found unique ways to adapt existing validated technology from complimentary industries such as oenology, as well as drawing on my previous experience in oil and gas refinement" stated Dr. Pal.

Technology developed during the IRAP funded R&D project will be applied within Nextleaf's patented extraction process and used in the production of THC and CBD distillates for vapes, edibles, and beverages once legalized in Canada. "Chlorophyll and other pigments can affect the consumer experience in a number of ways, including inferior taste and appearance," said Dr. Krupal Pal, "but more importantly chlorophyll can affect the functionality of vape hardware as it has a different temperature tolerance and vaporizes at a different rate compared to THC and CBD."

Additionally, Dr. Pal led efforts with regards to Nextleaf's collaborative research project with the University of British Columbia (UBC), and British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) under the auspices of an NSERC grant. The project was anchored in a sustainability-driven outcome with the goal to repurpose post-extraction cannabis biomass, and minimize waste byproducts.

Hemp biomass, when reduced to ash under Nextleaf's incineration process, shows considerable promise as a replacement for fly ash as a key ingredient in Portland Cement due to the silica content. When leveraged as a biofuel during hemp ash production, power is generated and metric tonnes of biomass can be diverted from landfills and used as a supplementary cementitious material. Current estimates indicate close to a billion kilograms of biomass being harvested annually by the marijuana and hemp industry.

"We were adamant on finding an environmentally conscious way to put cannabis biomass waste used in our extraction process to good use, and the evidence suggests we've found it," stated Paul Pedersen, CEO of Nextleaf Solutions. "These two R&D projects speak to Nextleaf's talent for research collaboration and technological innovation, key pillars in our growth strategy."

CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST) (NYSE: CTSTprovided an interim update concerning certain recent developments affecting the Company.

After trading hours on Friday, August 9, 2019, CannTrust received a report from Health Canada notifying the Company that its manufacturing facility in Vaughan, Ontario has been rated non-compliant with certain regulations. CannTrust has accepted Health Canada's findings and remedial actions are underway.

Heath Canada's rating was based on observations made during an inspection completed during the period July 10-16, 2019, which noted:

     The conversion of five rooms from operational areas to storage areas, which were used for storage since June 2018 without prior approval of Health Canada;

     The construction of two new areas without prior approval of Health Canada, one of which was used to store cannabis since November 2018;

     Insufficient security controls at the manufacturing facility;

     Inadequate quality assurance investigations and controls;

     Standard operating procedures that did not to meet the requirements under regulations; and

Documents or information that were not retained in a manner to enable Health Canada to complete its audit in a timely manner.

As previously announced, the Company implemented a voluntary hold on the sale and shipment of all cannabis products while Health Canada reviewed its Vaughan, Ontario manufacturing facility. CannTrust continues to work closely with Health Canada and will provide further details of the hold and other developments as they become available.

Under the direction of the recently constituted independent Special Committee of the board of directors of the Company and newly-appointed interim CEO, Robert Marcovitch, the Company has already begun the process of investigating and remediating the root causes of any non-compliance and expects to propose a robust remediation plan to Health Canada.

The Company's CEO Robert Marcovitch stated: "We are continuing to work hard to regain the trust of Health Canada, our patients, shareholders and partners. We have retained independent consultants who have already started addressing some of the deficiencies noted in Health Canada's report. We are looking at the root causes of these issues and will take whatever remedial steps are necessary to bring the Company into full regulatory compliance as quickly as possible."

Although the Company, under the supervision of the Special Committee, is preparing a remediation plan for submission to and consideration by Health Canada, Health Canada has advised the Company that it is currently unable to provide any guidance about the timing or content of its decisions concerning the Company.

Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV) (OTC: CNPOFannounced that it has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to graduate from the TSX Venture Exchange and list its class A subordinate voting shares on the TSX.

"This represents another important milestone for Canopy Rivers and demonstrates the Company's continued growth and commitment to driving shareholder value," said Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers. "We believe that a TSX listing will substantiate our strong commitment to corporate governance and provide us with exposure to a broad new investor base that will enhance liquidity."

Final approval of the listing is subject to Canopy Rivers meeting certain standard and customary conditions required by the TSX. Upon receipt of final TSX approval, Canopy Rivers' Subordinate Voting Shares will be voluntarily delisted from the TSXV and commence trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "RIV".

Point Roberts WA , Vancouver BC – August 12, 2019  – Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com), a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings you today’s edition of  The AI Eye-  watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence.

Listen to today’s podcast:



Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:MSFT) (NSE:COMPLIANCE) (NasdaqGS:NICE)

Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) and Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (Jio), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (NSE:RELIANCE) have announced an alliance to accelerate the digital transformation of India. According to the press release, the two companies are embarking on a ten-year commitment to “enhance the adoption of leading technologies like data analytics, AI, cognitive services, blockchain, Internet of Things, and edge computing among small and medium enterprises to make them ready to compete and grow, while helping accelerate technology-led GDP growth in India and driving adoption of next-gen technology solutions at scale”. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, commented:

"We have an incredible opportunity to apply advances in technology to help organizations across India innovate and grow. The combination of Jio's leading connectivity and digital solutions with Azure, Azure AI and Office 365 will bring powerful tools and platforms for compute, storage, productivity and more to millions of businesses in the country."

NICE Ltd. (NasdaqGS:NICE) has introduced Reg BI Surveillance, a solution designed to help broker-dealers manage Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) compliance obligations. Reg BI was recently passed by the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) and raises the standard of conduct for broker-dealers with the imposition of  new requirements to ensure transparency and that firms are acting in their clients’ best interest. Reg BI Surveillance leverages Intelligent Analytics powered by machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to monitor broker-dealer communications to ensure compliance. Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, explained:

“Reg BI is the most significant change to suitability regulations in the United States in the past twenty years. Now, firms must monitor all broker-dealer recommendations through the lens of this new regulation. This places an enormous compliance burden on firms that would be difficult to overcome with today’s disjointed technologies and manual processes.

Research from Report Consultant finds that the AI and Machine Learning in Retail market will see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41 percent in the forecast period 2019-2025, according to a press release published today. An excerpt outlines the market:

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enable Retailers to boost their bottom lines, in part by showing when it’s not necessary to offer a discount. At the same time, these systems give shoppers prices they view as fair and non-arbitrary on the products they care most about. AI and ML deliver such an impact in price and promotion optimization. In pricing, these capabilities can help retailers provide targeted, more personalized prices and offer that factor in shopper sensitivity and competitive elasticity, down to the store-item level. For context, machine learning is essentially a toolkit of different techniques and approaches to solving problems. Just as a specialized tool is only effective in the hands of a skilled artisan or technologist, highly experienced data scientists leverage the knowledge of the tools in their ML toolkit to apply them successfully in the realm of real-world retail pricing and promotions.
