• The company reports approximately 1,000 kilograms of commercial cannabis dry flower and derivative exports to Europe and the United States in Q4 of 2022.
• Flora Growth has also received an updated cannabis export and production quota from the Colombian government, including the addition of four additional proprietary genetics and increased production for domestic medical markets.

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (“Flora'' or the “Company”), a leading all-outdoor cultivator, manufacturer and distributor of global cannabis products and brands, is pleased today to provide an update on commercial cannabis operations out of Colombia. Following the April 2022 passage of Resolution 539 permitting licensed cannabis cultivators with export quotas to export dry cannabis flower, Flora successfully exported nearly 1,000kgs of dried cannabis and derivatives to Europe and the United States in the fourth quarter of 2022. These activities are a part of the full commercialization of the Cosechemos farm and Flora Lab One facility in Bucaramanga, Colombia.

The Company also updated its previously announced 43,000kg export quota to include multiple strains of THC flower, including four additional high-THC genetics, and increased limit to the production of psychoactive derivatives for domestic use in the Colombian medical market.

“As the largest cultivator of commercial cannabis in Colombia, our ability to activate our farm and distribute products is nearly unmatched,” said Luis Merchan, Chairman and CEO of Flora Growth. “With the acquisition of Franchise Global Health completed just last week, we now have direct lines of distribution to Germany and the rest of Europe.”

Since the passage of Resolution 539 last year, Flora has been focused on ramping up the commercialization and export of dry flower to Europe. The recently announced acquisition of Franchise Global Health and the integration of the German and European teams accelerates Flora’s immediate opportunity for medical products in Germany and positions the Company well for the potential incoming recreational market.
