By far the most active cannabis sector, Cultivation & Retail consists of companies that grow and sell cannabis flower.
Many of the biggest cannabis producers are found in Cultivation & Retail, these include Canopy Growth Corp, Aurora, and Aphria.
In Canada, the number of companies acquiring a license from the Canadian federal government to grow and sell marijuana has increased vastly. As that number increases so does the competition in this highly lucrative sector. In October 2018, Canada legalized recreational marijuana and the demand for cannabis has skyrocketed. Business in Cultivation & Retail has boomed as a result.
