Santo Mining Corp. ("Santo" (OTCPink: SANP) and Infinity Blockchain Labs Taiwan, Ltd. ("IBLT" today announced the establishment of a joint venture aimed to combat the counterfeit cannabis epidemic taking on the $150 billion cannabis market, currently endangering and hospitalizing hundreds of thousands of consumers worldwide.
The joint venture named DNA Tags, Inc. will leverage IBLTs world-class blockchain software development track record with Santos experience in radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communications (NFC) technology .
New products developed by the joint venture will feature innovative technologies like geo-tagging, traceability, tamper-proof, internet of things (IoT) and blockchain technology .
DNA Tags will be the joint ventures first go-to-market product , positioned to be the de facto anti-counterfeit packaging solution in todays growing counterfeit cannabis black market. The blockchain and NFC powered tags will provide consumers with supply chain traceability and peace of mind shopping, ensuring customers are purchasing safe and anti-tampered cannabis products for themselves and their loved ones.
In addition to protecting the integrity of a product and safeguarding consumers, DNA Tags can help brands leverage collected consumer data for marketing and loyalty programs used in customer acquisition and retention marketing campaigns. Finally, product provenance from the supply chain is stored on all DNA Tags, addressing concerns from local governments in the U.S. regarding grey market sales and the enforcement and collection of sales taxes on cannabis products.
As global medical cannabis consumption increases, brand loyalty and consumer confidence are of great importance to manufacturers looking for innovative ways to deter from legal liabilities costing millions of dollars from counterfeited products sold in grey and secondary markets.
This new venture is designed to satisfy consumers' trust and expectations including reducing the legal liabilities companies can be exposed to and giving governmental bodies the data to ensure traceability and taxation are implemented all with a seamless, intuitive and easy to use mobile application.
The cannabis industry is a rapidly growing industry, with consumer spending on target to surpass $200 billion in the next five years. Santos shareholders will benefit from the joint venture by capturing a greater share of this growing cannabis market and providing an immediate deployment solution of DNA Tags for the cannabis industry.
I'm excited about our joint venture with Santo and together brining to market the DNA Tags, which align well with IBLTs mission of using blockchain for social impact. We believe using blockchain technology and IoT in tandem to solve real-world problems like counterfeit cannabis, will only encourage more companies to step forward and embrace this emerging technology to grow business and brand value, said Junya Yamamoto, Chief Executive Officer, Infinity Blockchain Labs, Taiwan.
