- Transplanting cuttings
- Transporting plants through harvesting
- De-budding & rough trimming
- Drying & curing
- Waste disposal
Aphria One
The 700,000 square foot Part IV Expansion and the 100,000 square foot Part V expansion represent the completion of Aphria’s five-part expansion at Aphria. Once in full rotation, Part IV and Part V will produce on an incremental annualized basis 80,000 [kilograms] bringing the total annualize production capacity at Aphria One to 110,000 [kilograms].
