Taratera Corporation (“TARATERA”) (Thailand) and Advanced Canna Technologies (“ACT”) (Israel) to set up a JV to establish “ACTERA” a new 2,000 square meter advanced indoor cannabis cultivation facility in Bangkok, Thailand. 

This strategic partnership will strengthen TARATERA capabilities in cultivation, processing, and distribution with its national retail brand (“The Dispensary”).

“We designed the ACTERA cultivation facility to be one of the most advanced indoor plant factories in the world. We utilize ACT’s years of experience and expertise to create a cannabis flagship in Thailand, and to consistently produce ultra-premium cannabis flowers for Thailand’s medical and adult-use markets.” said Or Engler, CEO & Founder of ACT.

For the first time in Thailand, this partnership aims to open Thailand’s gates and call international tier 1 brands seeking a one-stop solution for producing, processing, and distributing their cannabis THC and CBD brands in the emerging medical and recreational cannabis market. 

“With ACTERA, we aim to greatly improve our cultivation capability, enabling us to work with global partners seeking to expand to the new emerging market in Thailand. ACTERA, together with TARATERA, will have all the resources available to facilitate and kickstart international cannabis brands entering this region.” said Kajkanit Sakdisubha, CEO & Founder of TARATERA
