Bringing Premium Cannabis Genetics to Market: Segra International and Grounded Genetics

Segra International is excited to announce the imminent availability of an exclusive collection of proven, award-winning, and unreleased cultivars from Grounded Genetics. These premium genetics will be accessible to Canadian and international markets in the fall/winter of 2024/25, offered in the form of tissue culture mother plants and tissue culture plantlets.

In collaboration with Grounded Genetics, Segra will provide custom phenotype selection for customers. “We believe that pheno selection and breeding initiatives are better suited in a dedicated environment versus the grow rooms of our customers. Offering this service fills a gap in the marketplace and allows our customers to focus on what they do best, cultivation,” said Jamie Blundell, CEO of Segra International.

Jamie Blundell, CEO of Segra, expressed his enthusiasm: “Grounded Genetics' global reputation and experience in breeding and genetic selection are impressive. Their ability and commitment to identify the best cultivars for specific environments and outcomes align perfectly with our mission to deliver exceptional products to our customers. Together, we can leverage our collective strengths to refine the cannabis experience and provide unmatched quality and variety in the market. This marks a significant milestone for our companies, and I am excited to embark on this journey of discovery and growth.”

Ramone, CEO of Grounded Genetics, commented, “We are excited to bring our genetics to market in partnership with Segra International. Segra has demonstrated that they are a global leader in cannabis tissue culture and molecular biology IP, with an unparalleled global distribution network. As a breeder, getting our genetics to market in a clean, safe format is critical to the long-term success of our business and mitigates the risk and spread of disease, a significant issue facing the industry.”

This partnership presents a compelling opportunity to leverage years of innovation and genetic development for growers to introduce true-to-type, proven, and diverse cultivars into their respective markets. Through Segra's cutting-edge clean stock tissue culture plantlets, growers can have peace of mind, knowing that the plants they receive are free from detectable pests, pathogens, viruses, and viroids.
