Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2020) - TrustBIX Inc. (TSXV: TBIX) ("TrustBIX") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with KML Meat Processors Ltd. ("KML") for KML to process cattle destined for TrustBIX customers in China and Hong Kong.

In the arrangement, TrustBIX will use its existing relationships in the Canadian beef industry to arrange for the sourcing of cattle from select producers in Western Canada. KML will process these animals at its Westwold, British Columbia facility, and arrange for shipping to a port of entry chosen by TrustBIX's customers.

This deal follows an earlier arrangement TrustBIX announced on November 19, 2020 with GBI Global Inc.

"We continue to build strong links to supply premium beef products to customers in China and Hong Kong," said Hubert Lau, CEO of TrustBIX. "We are building a funnel of customers for premium imported beef products with GBI Global Inc, and are able to source beef with the desirable attributes these customers want. With KML, we now have the processing and shipping expertise to get the product to our customers. TrustBIX oversees the entire value chain, and the chain of custody is tracked by the BIX system."

"The premium beef market in China and Hong Kong is growing very fast and this is really a great opportunity for KML to partner up with TrustBIX to achieve our goal together," said Howard Yong, President of KML.
