Little Green Pharma Ltd (ASX: LGP, "LGP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the award of an Italian Government tender to deliver a shipment of EU GMP medicinal cannabis flower from its Danish Facility into Italy.

The shipment value of ~€200,000 is not material, however with the award LGP has joined a small group of international cannabis producers qualified to supply cannabis flower medicines into Italy, positioning LGP strongly for future upcoming Italian Government tenders.
