Florida-based seed-to-sale traceability company Metrc signed a contract to provide track-and-trace services to Mississippi’s medical marijuana program.
The deal marks Metrc’s 21st government contract with a U.S. state, the company said in a Tuesday news release.
Terms weren’t disclosed.
Metrc has been on a solid run in securing state contracts this year, having landed MMJ contracts with South Dakota and Minnesota in March as well as an adult-use deal with New Jersey in January.
Metrc’s platform will allow Mississippi regulators and businesses to track data and products from seed to sale.
The traceability service uses a radio frequency identification (RFID) system to tag cannabis plants and products within the program.
