Mr. Yuying Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shineco, commented, “We believe that the new business line of industrial cannabis will likely enrich and draw on the Company’s longtime experience in the comprehensive utilization of hemp plants and position the Company to become one of the world’s leading experts in the industrialization of hemp-based plants. We expect our plan to create greater value and return to our shareholders and investors.”

The Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Tenjove Newhemp Biotechnology Co., Ltd. on March 13, 2019, to capture growth in the industrial cannabis market according to the press release.

This is a retrace in price as shares have traded here before, with investors recapturing marketcap and valuation. This is a logical move as US markets move closer to a federal cannabis mandate in the 2020 election cycle.
