In addition to identifying wholesale product by grow type – indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor – Cannabis Benchmarks has been differentiating wholesale transactions by whether the transfer occurred as a bulk transaction or a transaction consisting of prepackaged flower. The source data we receive from our Price Contributor Network includes these details and we are pleased to now begin including additional price assessments for wholesale flower sold in bulk or in prepackaged containers. This added granularity of pricing expands our efforts to bring transparency to the wholesale cannabis market.
