# Production development

Ortusol International has developed an efficient, regulated, and scalable medical cannabis production model, ensuring long-term operational stability and product quality. The approach integrates infrastructure, regenerative agriculture, and quality controls, providing investors with transparency and financial clarity.

#### **Infrastructure and strategic location**

Ortusol operates in Malawi’s Salima district under a 50-year lease, ensuring long-term land security. The region offers ideal agro-climatic conditions for medical cannabis cultivation, allowing year-round outdoor production with minimal operational costs.

* Fertile land and natural irrigation from the Lilongwe River reduces dependency on artificial irrigation.
* High solar radiation lowers reliance on artificial lighting, reducing costs and carbon footprint.
* Licensed by the Cannabis Regulatory Authority of Malawi (CRA) for cultivation, processing, and export.
* Initial 1.5-hectare Proof of Concept was completed, with modular expansion tied to funding availability and operational data.

#### **Sustainable and scalable cultivation model**

Ortusol prioritizes sustainability and cost efficiency over excessive technology investments. The model optimizes production through:

* Regenerative agricultural techniques ensuring long-term soil fertility.
* Progressive cannabis expansion of 0.5 hectares per month, balancing capital investment with yield scalability.
* High-efficiency planting density of 4,000 plants per hectare, maximizing output while maintaining soil health.

#### **Processing and quality control**

Ortusol ensures high-quality cannabis production for regulated export markets, maintaining strict compliance with international standards.

* Pharmaceutical-grade drying and curing facilities preserve cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
* Advanced processing technology enables the production of high-purity CBD oil and biomass.
* In-house quality control laboratory verifies cannabinoid content, purity, and regulatory compliance.

#### **Financial viability and risk management**

Ortusol’s financial model prioritizes scalable, funding-driven expansion to maintain investor security.

* Production expansion is directly tied to funding thresholds.
* Secured sales contracts in Spain, the UK, Australia, and Germany guarantee stable demand.
* Diverse revenue streams from dried flowers, CBD oils, and hemp derivatives enhance profitability.
* 50-year operational security ensures long-term viability and regulatory compliance.
