Aug 27, 2020

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: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
