On April 4, the company announced that it entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with the Xingshan People’s Government of Hegang City of Heilongjiang Province. This was done through a Shineco subsidiary, Tenjove NewHemp Biotech Co., Ltd.

The deal between the two parties focuses on jointly producing industrial hemp as well as establishing a CBD Extraction Industrial Park. Furthermore, the deal is calling for the creation of an Industrial Hemp Research Center, affiliated with China’s Academy of Science. Furthermore, there will be an Industrial Hemp Workstation that is sponsored by the City of Hegang of Heilongjiang Province.

Though this company “came out of nowhere” to add cannabis, could this end up turning into a “real deal” marijuana stock? Comments welcome.
