VANCOUVER, BC - Village Farms International, Inc. ("Village Farms" or the "Company") today announced that Michael DiGiglio, Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen Ruffini, Chief Financial Officer, will present at the LD 500 Virtual Conference on Thursday, September 3, 2020, at 1:20 p.m. ET.

During the presentation, Messrs. DeGiglio and Ruffini will discuss:

The success of Village Farms' majority-owned joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms, which has become one of the premier Canadian cannabis suppliers, and is the top-selling brand of dried flower products in Canada's largest provincial market1. Building on its commanding market share position, Pure Sunfarms recently began shipping its first bottled oil and vape products, which will be available to consumers shortly;
The Company's significant opportunities in the U.S. and international CBD markets; and,
Why the Company, with one of the largest greenhouse footprints in the United States, alongside decades of experience as a vertically integrated supplier of consumer products to major North American grocers and "big-box" retailers, is well positioned should high-THC cannabis be federally legalized in the U.S.

A live webcast of the presentation will be available to the public on Village Farms' website (www.villagefarms.com) in the Investors section, or by going here: https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/2019/36585. The webcast will be archived and available for 90 days on the Company's website.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
