In less than 3 years Wonderland Agronutrients has become one of the leading Chilean brand of cannabis oriented fertilisers in this highly competitive market, surpassed only by the largest international brands, such as Advanced Nutrients, Bio Biz, Grotek, Atami and Hessi, all of which have been in the market for around a decade.

Wonderland has penetrated over 90% of specialized retail outlets in Chile (over 1,500 outlets) and continues to grow its share of market with its complete array of products for all needs and stages of the plant.

HOME GROW RANGE

• Tripack - A three stage biostimulating fertilizer composed of:

  • Big Vegeta - Stimulates development & growth during vegetative stage;

Outpest - Organic pesticide that eliminates most common pests including greenflies, whiteflies, thrips and the devastating spider mites.

Raizer - Root stimulant that also improves physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.

ALGAE BASED BIOMSTIMULANT

The Wonderland ‘Algae based Biostimulants’ range is formulated specially for Patagonia Genetics.

This is a three stage treatment that caters to the specific needs of three basic stages of the plants: rooting, vegetative and flowering.

All are concentrated marine algae (Ascophyllum nodosum) based extracts that stimulate the metabolism and favour the fitorregulation of the plants.

Naturally wild growing algae is sourced from Southern coastlines and harvested by craftsmen using traditional/ environmentally friendly methods.

Whilst the algae based product is considered relatively new and experimental, it has been having extremely encouraging results, with some recently shared on Wonderland’s social media. https://www.instagram.com/wonderlandagronutrients/

INITIAL ORDERS PLACED WITH WONDERLAND AGRONUTRIENTS

Patagonia Genetics has recently made purchases of both of the Wonderland product ranges, being the ‘Home Grow’ and the ‘Algae based Biostimulants’ exceeding 1,300ltrs in order to send samples to major licensed producers and grow shops internationally who have shown interest.

Initial modelling completed by Patagonia Genetics shows potential for margins of between 60-80% on the Wonderland Agronutrients distribution deal. The financial impact of this development is not material. Further information on sales progress will be provided in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Patagonia Genetics

Patagonia Genetics is a craft cannabis company based in Patagonia, Chile boasting a genetic collection of over 260 unique cannabis and hemp strains, carefully collected from industrial hemp cultivations of the late 1980's whose germination rates were verified in late 2016 with knowledge of the Livestock & Agriculture Service (SAG). A large proportion of these are unhybridized landraces not seen in domestic markets in over 30 years, hence their genetic value.

Patagonia Genetics believes the future of cannabis is in high quality craft cannabis, outdoor and field grown. 10 Latin American (LATAM) countries have legalised cannabis for Medicinal usage and 3 have decriminalised for adult use. There are over 40 Licensed Producers operating in the region, a region that boasts some of the most prime real estate and growing conditions in the world.

The region boasts exceptional climatic conditions, with lots of sunshine and good rainfall. This coupled with acres and acres of arable land, could make the LATAM region the global leaders in cannabis production.

In addition to the above, the price of labour is exceptionally cheap when compared to its European and North American counterparts.

A key component to successful cannabis growing is providing the plant quality nutrients, pest prevention and natural products all life stages that do not leave residue. For this reason, Patagonia Genetics has sought to vertically align itself by securing the world wide offtake rights to the Wonderland Agronutrients brand, Chile’s #1 cannabis fertilizer.

With 11 applications currently under review with the Livestock & Agriculture Service (SAG), the company anticipates to be cultivating medicinal cannabis, conducting R&D on its genetic collection and cultivating stabilized seeds locally before the end of FY 2020.

GENETIC COLLECTION

A Chilean gene pool that has remained greatly isolated from international markets up to recently, hence its uniqueness. Archived over the past 30 years, a physical collection of over 30,000 seeds, the 260+ strain collection consists of carefully stored landraces from industrial hemp cultivations of the late 1980's whose germination rates where verified in late 2016 with knowledge of SAG.

Patagonia Genetics believes it to be the only seed bank in the world to hold the rarest F1 Colombian Red, a strain that was deemed to be lost, along with other notable strains such as the 'Black Black', with genetics that produces an almost pure black cannabis plant.

The collection contains a variety of hemp and cannabis strains that have been selected for their exceptional terpene profile, production yield, pest resistance, uniqueness, CBD/THC content and medicinal properties.

In Chile the sale of cannabis seeds is permitted if sold as 'collector's items'. The top selling brands are currently Barney Farm’s and Sensi Seeds, whereby individual seeds can achieve as high as AU$17-20.

Farm 2
