Testimonials

  • As an Australian company with long experience in confronting fluctuations in commodity trading or pressure in time-sensitive supply chains, the Cannabis industry seemed to be the green heaven of calmness and easy profit for us. However, since the green bubble burst, any move toward new investments requires comprehensive planning, especially for outsiders like our company. In our three months of working with MF Consulting Inc., Michaela’s extensive network through the industry and her deep knowledge of the market realities helped us draw a clear picture of current cultivation, processing, and sales schemes. We studied different opportunities in LP acquisition (cultivators and processors), white label manufacturing and exporting (to Australia). We’ve accomplished our project and achieved a practical, feasible plan beyond regular unrealistic excitement in the industry.
