Strategic Sourcing Inc. (SSI) was formed in the Spring of 2000 to provide customers and partners with an integrated strategy for cost-effectively incorporating cultivated and sustainably harvested botanicals into their product portfolios. SSI's critical strength is the wealth of experience and insight its researchers, managers and growers bring to the venture. Although the SSI name may be new, the company already has a proven cultivation track record, proprietary field and controlled environment cultivation technology, state of the art research and development capabilities, and invaluable market intelligence on a worldwide scale.
