PALM BEACH, Florida, June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a recent Forbes article, The Hemp Business Journal estimated that the CBD market will grow to a $2.1 billion market in consumer sales by 2020 with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources. That's a 700% increase from 2016. In 2015, the market for consumer sales of hemp-derived CBD products was $90 million, plus another $112 million in marijuana-derived CBD products which were sold through dispensaries - bringing a total CBD market to $202 million last year. Cannabis and legal marijuana companies with major developments to report or are active in the markets this week include: PotNetwork Holding, Inc. (OTC: POTN), Acology, Inc. (OTC: ACOL), GreenGro Technologies Inc., (OTC: GRNH), Agritek Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AGTK) and Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA)

PotNetwork Holding, Inc.  (OTC: POTN) is delighted to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Diamond CBD, Inc., has delivered yet another exponential increase in revenues year-over-year. For the month of May 2017, it achieved record breaking revenues of over 1 million dollars, which exceeded its May 2016 results by more than 1300% over last year's revenues of $70,444. "We are on fire! We are consistently setting new sales records month after month as the sales momentum continues to build. Moreover, our ongoing aggressive marketing strategy continues to build consumer and industry awareness which is clearly evident as we go from one exciting industry event to another," stated Maria Gomez, Regional Vice President of Sales for Diamond CBD, Inc. Read this and more news for POTN at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/potn.html.

Since the beginning of the year, the Company's Diamond CBD has pursued an aggressive multi-faceted growth plan, which has included broad representation at various key industry trade shows and conventions, and a strong consumer and industry communications strategy that has yielded a huge spike in consumer and industry brand recognition for its specialty products. As a result, the Company recently announced that Diamond CBD, Inc. had achieved a groundbreaking first quarter 2017 sales result of $1,858,347.48 which exceeded in one month the total sales volume of $1,663,081.78 for the entire twelve calendar months of 2016.
