Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLGC#NASDAQ">FLGC</a>) ("Flora" or the "Company"), a consumer-packaged goods leader and pharmaceutical distributor serving all 50 states and 28 countries with 20,000+ points of distribution around the world, is pleased to announce it has entered an exclusive distribution agreement with Me Raw Trade Ltd. ("Me Raw") to distribute both JustCBD and Vessel branded products in Poland.
Me Raw is an independent private company focused on bringing novel and high-end products to the Polish market, while bridging the rapidly changing cannabis laws between Poland and the rest of the world.
Me Raw will represent these brands to dispensaries, smoke shops, convenience stores and gas stations across Poland, including the ability to offer white label services to certain leading brands in the region. Me Raw will be the exclusive distributor to Polish retailers for a period of one year, with an option to extend. Flora Growth will also reserve the right to expand Me Raw's sales territory to include, at Flora's discretion, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, and Uzbekistan.
The Polish Pharmaceutical Chamber estimates that the potential number of medical cannabis users could reach 300,000, while the number of legal cannabis users (both medical and CBD) is expected to reach 1.3 million by 2026. The Polish medicinal cannabis market is expected to be worth at least €2.0 billion by 2028. It is estimated that the vape pen and dry herb vaporisers represent a multi-billion-dollar industry and are expected to grow exponentially, from $5 billion to $15 billion in 2031.
"Poland is an exceptionally fast-growing cannabis market in the EU and the country has gone to great lengths to become a leader in cannabis regulations in the region," said Clifford Starke, Chief Executive Officer at Flora. "Through Me Raw, we are engaged in conversations with large scale retailers across the region who are now beginning to adopt a wide range of CBD products and cannabis accessories for which Flora Growth excels."
"This collaboration opens new possibilities for expansion and promotion of products that are expected to be warmly received by Polish consumers looking for innovative and high-quality CBD products and vaporization accessories," said Andrzej Jankowski of Me Raw. "Our shared mission, based on delivering products that meet the highest standards, will form the foundation for a long-lasting partnership that is anticipated to exceed expectations in the Polish and EU markets."

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/polish-pm-tusk-says-he-will-meet-protesting-farmers-thursday-2024-02-28/">https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/polish-pm-tusk-says-he-will-meet-protesting-farmers-thursday-2024-02-28/</a>
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday he would meet protesting farmers' leaders on Thursday, as demonstrations continued across the country.
Farmers across Europe have been protesting for weeks against constraints placed on them by EU regulations meant to tackle climate change, as well as rising costs and what they say is unfair competition from outside the EU, particularly Ukraine.
"I have convened an agricultural summit in Warsaw for tomorrow ... I will meet with the leaders of all protesting groups," he said during a press conference.
"We have a very important problem. We are the most pro-Ukrainian nation when it comes to aid, but we have the biggest problems in Europe resulting from the war."
He added a current EU proposal to limit the amount of food products arriving from Ukraine to levels from the last two years was "unacceptable" for Poland and it wanted the reference amount to be set at levels from before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
He said that he was ready to take tough decisions regarding the border in consultation with Ukraine.
"I do not hide the fact that we are talking to Ukraine about temporarily closing the border," he said.
On Wednesday, thousands of Polish farmers took to the streets of Warsaw.

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/polands-unimot-talks-buy-shells-stake-german-schwedt-refinery-sources-2023-09-25/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/polands-unimot-talks-buy-shells-stake-german-schwedt-refinery-sources-2023-09-25/</a>
Poland's Unimot <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/UNTP.WA">(UNTP.WA)</a> has emerged as one of the possible buyers of a 37.5% stake oil major Shell <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/SHEL.L">(SHEL.L)</a> owns in Germany's PCK Schwedt refinery, two people familiar with the matter said.
The refinery, which is majority-owned by Russia's Rosneft <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/ROSN.MM">(ROSN.MM)</a>, has been a problem for the German government ever since Berlin ended its energy ties with Moscow last year.
As a result, Germany put Rosneft's 54.17% stake under trusteeship, essentially giving the government control over the asset while technically leaving ownership in the Russian group's hands.
That led Shell to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/shell-revives-german-refinery-sale-russian-ownership-cleared-2023-03-21/">revive</a> plans to sell its stake in Germany's fourth-largest refinery, which supplies 90% of Berlin's fuel, earlier this year.
"Unimot is one of the possible buyers of the Shell share, but not the only one," a government source told Reuters.
Unimot last year said it was expanding international trading as it sought to import diesel to Germany amid European Union sanctions on Russian oil and refined products.
Germany is also no longer considering Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/KMGZ.KZ">(KMGZ.KZ)</a> and its subsidiary Kaztransoil <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/KZTO.KZ">(KZTO.KZ)</a> as possible buyers of the stake as they cannot guarantee the necessary stability for Schwedt, the source added.
Shell, Unimot and Germany's Economy Ministry, which is responsible for the trusteeship of Rosneft's stake in Schwedt, all declined to comment. Rosneft Germany did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

U.S. State Department Says U.S. And Poland Sign $2B Foreign Military Financing Direct Loan Agreement

July was a positive month for the U.S. stock market, but strong gains were also seen in global equity markets, with some countries posting double-digit monthly returns. Notably, the 1% decline in the dollar in July, marking its second consecutive month of losses, provided a boost to numerous emerging markets heavily reliant on the greenback&rsquo;s cycle. Additionally, the diminishing fears of a global recession contributed to a favorable market sentiment, rekindling the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/07/33220411/cash-in-on-the-crashing-dollar-5-stocks-and-etfs-ready-to-soar-from-the-greenbacks-downfall">market&rsquo;s appetite for global equities. </a>
However, some country-specific factors, such as changes in economic policies, played a crucial role in the variations of performance among country exchange traded funds (ETFs) in July.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has consistently outperformed the iShares MSCI All Country World Index Ex-US ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACWX#NYSE">ACWX</a>) in 2023, boasting returns of 18.7% compared to 11.7%.

July's Top-Performing Country ETFs: This Nation Led Global Equity Rally, And It Wasn't China

The U.S. stock market wasn&rsquo;t the only one to rally in 2023, and many U.S.-based investors would have found it beneficial to diversify their portfolios with global stocks and ETFs from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-emerging-markets-etfs" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">roaring emerging market economies.</a>

Benzinga delved into the top-performing Country ETFs for 2023, evaluating their returns and their respective best-performing stocks. It is essential for U.S.-based investors to note that although these ETFs trade in U.S. dollars on U.S. exchanges, they are not currency hedged.

&nbsp;Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) has delivered key Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) components for Poland&#39;s WISŁA medium range air defense program. With this delivery, IBCS moves closer to being fully fielded as part of Poland&#39;s advanced air and missile defense program. 
&nbsp;
The recent delivery of the IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) relays supports the WISŁA program&#39;s fielding schedule, which is the first foreign military sale of IBCS. Reaching this milestone provides a critical capability to a key U.S. ally and achieves NATO interoperability goals. &nbsp;
&quot;Northrop Grumman is transforming decision making for the U.S. and its allies by integrating sensors and weapons for air and missile defense,&quot; said Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general manager, Combat Systems and Mission Readiness, Northrop Grumman. &quot;IBCS provides Polish air defenders with the ability to make faster, better-informed decisions to deter, disrupt and defeat threats across all domains.&quot;
In parallel to the IFCN relay deliveries, Northrop Grumman is conducting a series of integration and test scenarios with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Ff729k4WgjbO2NUG3Yw_BwwbjCQu4nX9b03-ve6H-CYY8tPDiB_E6NQ3yYCtzD2sMzwrs5KCojj2b9zE--QmPgFhLhFBfPqL0KZUKnbrs9bCdq5mstAb-gMQX-QCLu5NxSv3NCex2FHbYRaY_iEsED_XAhr6BFCxwjrEXRhP4o9xupcD9fVlD6-FOgrzYeZdCMPLafjMrw3yYTpqtu-0Dr8LrjtOxcxBlz7p0kyLJXk7RGGIBtuYXvILdWyWWq7kVShuJ4SmU7xjvhQ1ceMrJ1q0tTZJKJXaVerqlX_XFeLYfiFVHp__zTl4KYghLRiu" target="_blank">Engagement Operation Centers (EOCs) previously delivered in July 2022</a>, and the relays. These tests and the associated training are important steps toward Poland taking full delivery of their first systems and achieving Basic Operational Capability later in 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;
IBCS implements a modular, open and scalable architecture foundational to integrating available assets in the battlespace, regardless of source, service or domain onto common fire control network. Its architecture enables the efficient and affordable integration of current and future systems and extends the battlespace by disaggregating sensors and effectors. By enabling this high level of network integration, the warfighter is given unprecedented time to make accurate decisions. Through numerous successful development and operational tests and demonstrations, IBCS has proven its capability to connect and fuse multi-service sensor data to multi-service weapons, demonstrating Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) capabilities.
