Innovation, Genetics and Cultivation
Organigram emphasizes innovation in cultivation and product development. The company has invested in seed-based cultivation and cannabis genetics through its relationship with Phylos Bioscience Inc. Organigram states that seed-based cultivation has become a key advantage in its cultivation strategy, contributing to consistency, scalability and economic benefits. Through an expanded agreement with Phylos, Organigram has secured access to an autoflower genetics pipeline and a long-term seed supply, with exclusivity for chosen cultivars in certain international markets such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Germany and Israel for specified periods.
The company also reports genomics research and development, including work to identify genetic markers for powdery mildew resistance and breeding that resistance into key cultivars. Organigram links these efforts to goals such as reducing plant care requirements and increasing yields. It has reported record harvests at its Moncton facility, attributing them to enhanced cultivation practices, upgraded lighting and seed-based cultivation.
International and Beverage Expansion
Organigram has an international business unit focused on exporting cannabis products and building partnerships in high-value medical and adult-use markets. The company discloses record international sales and ongoing work toward EU-GMP certification for its Moncton facility, which is a prerequisite for certain international medical cannabis markets. It has also highlighted five-year exclusive rights for selected cannabis genetics in specified international territories under its amended agreement with Phylos, with the ability to add new territories as its global expansion continues.
In beverages, Organigram participates in cannabinoid drinks in both Canada and the U.S. through Collective Project and related brands. The company notes expanded Canadian beverage distribution in provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and U.S. direct-to-consumer availability of hemp-derived THC beverages in multiple states. These activities are part of its stated goal to extend its global footprint and diversify product formats.

Corporate Strategy and Industry Role
Organigram positions itself as a Canadian cannabis producer with ambitions to compete globally. The company highlights a strategy built around brand development, cultivation and extraction capabilities, product innovation, international expansion and participation in adjacent categories such as beverages and hemp-derived THC. It has partnered with organizations such as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Business Data Lab to analyze the economic footprint of Canada’s legal cannabis industry, and has released reports describing cannabis as a significant contributor to national GDP, economic output and employment.
In its public communications, Organigram advocates for policy modernization in areas such as excise taxation and export strategies, arguing that the legal cannabis sector represents an important part of the Canadian economy. The company’s polling work with Abacus Data indicates that a majority of surveyed Canadians see the legal cannabis industry as an economic opportunity and support greater government involvement in fostering jobs and innovation in the sector.
Regulatory Environment
Organigram operates under the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations in Canada, and references Health Canada as its primary regulator for cultivation and processing activities. For its U.S. hemp-derived THC activities, the company’s disclosures focus on product launches and distribution rather than detailed regulatory frameworks, but they consistently distinguish these products as hemp-derived and note that they are offered in states where such products can be sold.
