We are just stopping the ingredient manufacturing portion - extraction, refinement, isolation. We are focusing more on our brand and product manufacturing. It’s just to the point where we would have to scale it up even further to be profitable with it.
Excuse my ignorance, but isn’t a 20L crystallization reactor too small to really make any sort of dent in a production environment in this industry? $40k for a used R&D scale device is a pretty tough sale when equivalent from Across International (new) is like $10k…and direct from China is like $4k.
You’d have to make something like 400kg of CBD isolate to break even on just the glassware, across something like 50-80 crystallizations.
the race to the bottom has killed off any point in producing hydrocarbon extracts for the most part.
hell even i just suggested to my boss that we dont bother getting our bho set up again until we have a fully functioning gummy and ice hash/rosin set up. we can get both setup for 25% of what a setting up our hydro carbon setup again would cost. especially when we can get decent live resin for $1/g and retail it all day for $10
@durr True, even here in Africa, the market for both the concentrates and edibles is very limited. As for our company, currently we have over 250Kg of CBDA concentrate but we are struggling moving it. This side no one is pursuing value addition so far. I am seeing the price of this commodity falling tremendously in the future.
extracts to-begin-with are a more niche product. the average person who smokes weed every once in a while or even like just on weekends isnt going to dab regularly.
the people traveling around with family or friends arent going to bust out rigs.
honestly the market is going to be dominated by edibles/consumables and vapes, with prerolls following and then flower and then dabs last. so if you guys are just starting in africa i would definitely focus on dominating that market first and then introducing dabs last once you guys are more than profitable already.
