Khiron Life Sciences (CVE:KHRN) Potential Beneficiary of Mercosur European Trade Deal

Khiron Life Sciences Corp (CVE:KHRN) (OTCMKTS:KHRNF) (FRA:4KH) has welcomed the recently announced trade deal between the European Union and Mercosur, effectively titled EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement. Subject to ratification by member countries, the agreement establishes a framework to promote free trade and fluid movement of goods and services which includes pharmaceutical and medical products. HELLO CANNABIS!

How Does Khiron Benefit?

Mercosur is a trading bloc comprised of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay plus several associate members. The population of all associated members amounts to nearly 780 million people encompassing almost a quarter of the world’s GDP.  According to the European Commission, the trade deal announced at the G20 Summit in Japan is estimated to see upwards of 88 Billion Euros traded in goods from the Mercosur nations.

Khiron is active within the Mercosur jurisdictions, recently completing the acquisition of NettaGrowth International, a cannabis company based in Uruguay. NettaGrowth, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dormul S.A. obtained one of the first licences to produce and export medical cannabis with THC for commercialization in Uruguay, and through the Mercosur agreement are positioned to serve Brazil and the growing Latin American market. The acquisition of NettaGrowth provides Khiron with up to an additional 120 tonnes of licensed production capacity and diversifies Khiron´s licence composition to include medical use and flower cultivation distribution capabilities.
