CCO - The Calmer Co International

[System]

The Fiji Kava Group is primarily a biotechnology company whose research and development aspirations are underpinned with an existing business selling kava extracts as a consumer product.

The Company considers that the scale-up and improvement of the underlying kava retail business will be synergistic to the development of additional products and intellectual property from kavalactone research.

The key business objectives of the Company on completion of the IPO are:

• human clinical trials to be developed in consultation with the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM) and the Scientific Advisory Board in order to establish the efficacy and safety of the Company's products, and to develop novel kava extracts and kava combination products. This research is slated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2018;
• the primary production of mkava through a network of outsourced kava farms and via its own Farm located in Fiji; and
• the production and sale of kava supplements and complimentary medicines.

It is anticipated that FIJ will list on the ASX during November 2018.

I have tried Kava and liked it.
Not allowed in Australia though. Not sure why.

Like Cannabis/Weed I think Kava is going to catch on in time...

It's the only Kava stock listed, so unlike the dozens of Weed stocks that are growing amongst the ASX garden beds, if there is a frenzy into Kava and it's health benefits this stock should do well, hence picked for CY2021 competition...

Fiji Kava Ltd is the only foreign company licensed by the Fijian Government to operate in the kava industry.

i hold CCO ( deeply underwater )

please be careful , there is a market saturation point out there somewhere ( is it before they start making a profit or after )

stressed consumers and rising costs will eat into increasing sales

The typo is atrocious "$16,0000/day" not sure how that got missed

hardly anybody 'proof-reads ' even at professional media outlets

i remember working at one and management would regularly ( more than twice a year ) come to my team and complain about obvious errors .. much to the team's amusement ... because the print run would finish two hours before we would even glance at the front page ( and we didn't have time to read it anyway )

what the heck were we going to do use a textra correcting 200,000 plus copies , and then send them out ( the team normally had six workers ) and by the way they often spat out 10 editions a night ( some vastly different to the earlier runs )

and YES some goofs were biggies including letters from lawyers threatening to sue ( others demanding a discount/refund )
