Village Farms Expands Global Cannabis Capacity as International Growth Accelerates
Village Farms (VFF) reports its international cannabis business is nearing $100M in annual revenue. The company's Delta site is the world's largest EU GMP-certified cannabis facility. VFF expects stable pricing for its EU GMP-compliant capacity. The company sold its produce business in 2025, focusing on cannabis. It has $400M revenue potential in West Texas if cannabis becomes permissible. VFF funded expansions with cash flow and a $15M private placement, with Citadel now owning 5.5%.
