About Borganic Consulting Inc.
Borganic is focused on the commercial extraction of cannabidiol ("CBD") from industrial hemp and has engineered a proprietary commercial scale extraction process that is more cost efficient than other traditional extraction processes. Borganic's technology utilizes a food grade ethanol extraction method that is far cleaner than many of the other commercial operations which use harmful and potentially carcinogenetic products such as hexane and butane for extraction.
Borganic has signed an exclusive three-year joint venture agreement to build an extraction refinery in Romania with DragonFly Biosciences, LLC ("DragonFly"), a United Kingdom based corporation. The refinery is projected to cost $1,800,000 to build and should be operational by November 2018. As per the agreement, Borganic and their joint venture partner, DragonFly, will process all the hemp produced under DragonFly's licenses in Bulgaria. Dragonfly has recently harvested 1,200 acres of CBD rich hemp and expects to refine a minimum of 4.5 million grams of CBD for the European Union market from its harvest.
