Extraction Labs that are looking for a secure Marketplace to reach buyers of their products and sellers looking to send their hemp in for extraction directly can join the NorCal Global Commodities Exchange, or NorCal GCX.
Often, extraction labs that are looking to reach sellers of hemp products for extractions end up dealing with brokers or agents that are misrepresenting themselves to the lab as the seller, when in reality these people are simply fishing for information on the lab and gathering information such as price to bring to their potential sellers or compare them against other labs. This creates false hope for the lab believing they have a sale as a result of misrepresentation, which overall hinders the industries perception from the public when it comes to the CBD industry as a whole.
The same is true for labs that are looking to reach buyers of hemp products from the labs. The people they are in contact with may be acting as agents or brokers, not the buyer, simply fishing for information about the quantity and price of products to compare with other labs.
NorCal GCX has set in place a self regulating marketplace that only caters to vetted extraction labs and buyers and sellers of hemp products, eliminating the middle man in between. This includes the real investors who were previously going through a middle man or broker to the extraction lab facilities and to the end user of the derived hemp products; all of these business owners and individuals can now access the Extraction Lab’s products right through the GCX Exchange, which is powered by Podio.
