Ballooning Potential for Hemp Derived CBD-based Products Generating Notable Revenue Opportunities

PALM BEACH, Florida, October 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary 

Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the more than 100 chemicals found in cannabis, is emerging as a popular wellness ingredient amongst other applications and uses. The hemp-derived CBD market is steadily increasing its foothold within the medical community as research and development for alternative treatment methods propels CBD-based solutions to new heights. One of the appealing factors is the natural composition of CBD-based solutions in a time when consumers are wary about what they are ingesting when it comes to medicine. As a result, the CBD industry is thriving in North America and Greenwave Advisors anticipates that the CBD industry could reach $3 billion by 2021 and eventually well over $200 billion in the U.S., if the so-called Farm Bill legalizing hemp as a crop passes. Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC:ETST), India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE:IGC), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CRON) (TSX:CRON), Aphria Inc. (TSX:APH.TO) (OTC:APHQF), New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ:NBEV).

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) BREAKING NEWS: Earth Science Tech , an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, today announces that it has entered talks for a potential exclusive business/supply agreement with an organic CBD grower and processor.

ETST is interested in utilizing the grower and processor's outdoor organic industrial hemp plants, extraction, mixing, bottling and packaging capabilities on an exclusive basis.

If complet-ed, this exclusive agreement would enable us to fulfill our many industrial hemp raw bulk inquires, further expand our revenues, and lower our cost of finished goods, all while offering optimal full Spectrum Cannabinoids quality as well as unique cannabinoid products through the grower and pro-cessor's innovative technologies. I plan on sharing more updates as we progress to a final agree-ment." Read this and more news for ETST at http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-etst
