Kanabo has confirmed that it has agreed a deal to purchase the European arm of Materia, which has already seen the business’s value shoot up to £60 million.

Materia, a cannabis processor and supplier, owns a plant in Malta and a wholesaling business in Germany, which is the biggest legal cannabis market on the continent.

Kanabo’s chief executive, Avihu Tamir, said:
