(OTC PINK: AGTK) , a fully integrated, active cannabis real estate investor and brand licensor for the cannabis sector in the United States and Canada, today announced that Company’s CEO, Suneil Singh Mundie “Neil Mundie”, is now featured in his first CEO webcast Interview on behalf of Agritek Holdings with Uptick Newswire.

 “I will continue to tell the Agritek Holding’s story to multiple media and news outlets to ensure the small cap investment audience is fully aware of our continued growth with projects in multiple jurisdictions within the cannabis sector. Our recent licensee approvals and expansion into the edibles and now beverage markets both as THC and CBD offerings in licensed states  continues to make us the Company to watch,” stated Mr. Mundie, CEO of Agritek Holdings

The Agritek Holdings move back into the edibles and cannabis beverage business coincides with the cannabis beverage industry beginning to gain major attention from some of the largest known Companies after Tilray announced the acquisition of Manitoba Oil of Canada and “eyeing the growing CBD food and drink market in the U.S.” Recent news has also expressed that Starbucks could be the first big chain to launch a cannabis based drink. 

“While some big players are only now starting to get interested in producing a CBD or THC infused drink, AGTK was the first to recognize the infused beverage industry, import and license Hemp beverages to dispensaries several years ago under its symbol MediSwipe, with the launch of Chillo, a hemp based energy drink and C Swiss Tea sold in California, Michigan, and available through Amazon, the largest online retailer in the world.

“Agritek still retains all of our contacts, distribution channels and accounts to take advantage of the new explosion of the infused beverage industry and opportunities, and our new beverage product lines debuting next quarter, in my opinion, will surpass anything presently in the marketplace with our custom brands and formulations,” added Mundie.

ArcView Market Research in partnership with BDS Analytics, stated that cannabis edibles spending reached $1.4 billion by 2018 and sales are on track to bring in more than $4.1 billion by 2022. But that number could prove to be just a fraction of its potential now that major consumer packaged goods companies are entering the industry. Agritek Holdings currently has three edibles brands and plans for two beverages moving into the US markets.
