NEW YORK, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of
Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms†or the
“Companyâ€) (NASDAQ: VFF). Such investors are
advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected]

The investigation concerns whether Village Farms and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On April 16, 2019, Citron Research published a report entitled “Citron presents the Red Flag Why the SEC should investigate Village Farms†(the “Citron Reportâ€). The Citron Report alleged, among other things, that in entering into a joint venture with Emerald Health Therapeutics (“Emerald Healthâ€) and Pure Sunfarms in order to enter the cannabis market, “Village Farms has moved to the dark side by partnering with shady stock promoters that have a track record of failed businesses and [joint ventures] while insiders at both Village Farms and Emerald Health have dumped stock.â€
Following the publication of the Citron Report, Village Farms’ stock price fell $1.38 per share, or 10.87%, to close at $11.31 on April 16, 2019, damaging investors.
