<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Vancouver, BC, May</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;16, 2019 &#150; </B>Village Farms International, Inc. (&#147;Village Farms&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (TSX:
VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) applauds the passage yesterday by a unanimous vote of House Bill 1325 (&#147;HB 1325&#148; or &#147;the Bill&#148;) today by the Texas State Senate. HB 1325 is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bi-partisan</FONT> bill that, if
passed into law, will establish a Texas Hemp Program, providing a regulatory and licensing framework for the cultivation and processing of hemp, as well as for products made from hemp, including cannabidiol (CBD). On April&nbsp;24, 2019, HB 1325 was
unanimously passed by the Texas State House of Representatives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As per normal legislative procedure, HB 1325 will now return to the House of
Representatives for consideration of the Senate&#146;s amendments to the Bill. Should the House of Representatives not concur with the Senate&#146;s amendments, the Bill will proceed to Conference Committee for resolution, and then proceed to a
final vote by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Should the House of Representatives concur with the Senate&#146;s amendments to the Bill, HB 1325 will become law as a result of the super majority vote in both the House of
Representative and the Senate, subject to the June&nbsp;16 deadline for the Governor to veto bills &#151; a highly unlikely proposition for a bill that passed both houses unanimously. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This is another very positive step forward in the legislative process toward the legalization of the cultivation and processing of hemp in Texas,&#148;
said Michael DeGiglio, CEO of Village Farms. &#147;We are encouraged by this progress and look forward to HB 1325 being passed into law and the considerable opportunities that will present for our Company.&#148; </P>
