The focus is competition. Personal growers could be marginally insignificant towards net demand. Companies who do it efficiently will take a huge cut from demand.
Ottawa Valley pot firm Burnstown Farms betting on sustainable, outdoor growing
A producer is eyeing 225 acres outside Burnstown in the Ottawa Valley for an outdoor grow-op. Burnstown Farms announced Thursday that it’s raising $2.88 million to purchase and fit-up a plot of land for cannabis production. Burnstown will produce each gram of cannabis at a “fraction of the cost” of indoor methods, which rely on expensive and energy-intensive greenhouse growing conditions to produce pot. The current way cannabis is produced in Canada is not the least bit sustainable. There’s really no reason to produce cannabis… indoors or even in greenhouses. Burnstown Farms estimates an annual crop of 52,000 kilograms once the firm is at peak production. If you were to grow a yield of that size indoors, it would cost the energy equivalent of powering 12,000 Canadian homes for a year. The Health Canada consultation from last November indicated that outdoor cultivation was indeed the most economical and environmentally sustainable way to grow cannabis.
