<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;23, 2019 &#150; </B>Village Farms International, Inc. (&#147;Village Farms&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (TSX:
VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) today announced that following the House of Representatives concurring with the Senate amendments, House Bill 1325 will become law in Texas (the &#147;Texas Hemp Legislation&#148;), subject to the June&nbsp;16, 2019 deadline for
the Governor to veto bills &#150; a highly unlikely proposition for a bill that passed both the House of Representatives and Senate unanimously. As a result of this legislative change, Village Farms has begun conversion of half of its
1.3&nbsp;million square foot, ultra-high-tech Permian Basin greenhouse (which utilizes the Company&#146;s proprietary GATES<B>&reg;</B> technology) for both cultivation of high-cannabidiol (CBD) hemp and CBD extraction. The Texas Hemp Legislation
will require licenses for both the cultivation and processing of hemp. Village Farms plans to apply for the requisite licenses as soon as it is permitted to do under the new legislation. No time frame has yet been provided by the State of Texas for
the licensing process. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Village Farms has commenced conversion of the approximately 635,000 square feet of growing area at the Permian Basin facility for
hemp production, with the tomato crop having already been removed and the construction team on site. Conversion will incorporate all of the systems necessary for year-round hemp cultivation, however, the Company could, with existing systems and at
this time of year, immediately begin cultivating hemp if it was licensed to do so. Village Farms expects the Permian Basin facility to be ready for year-round production in the third quarter of 2019, with extraction operations also to be added in
the existing facility in 2019. Following passage of the federal 2018 Farm Bill in December 2018, Village Farms began design and development of the site-specific growing and technical systems to be prepared for conversion upon passage of a hemp bill
in Texas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;With the potential for a hemp bill to be passed in Texas, we took the calculated risk of readying a portion of our Permian Basin
facility, and, as a result, we will be a first mover in the Texas hemp industry,&#148; said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms International. &#147;Village Farms applauds the Texas legislature and all of the supporters of HB 1325 on passing this
landmark bill, in particular Sen. Charles Perry, Rep. Tracy King, and the Texas Farm Bureau. CBD is forecast to generate sales in the United States of more than US$16&nbsp;billion by 2025 and, with passage of this bill, Village Farms can now
definitively and aggressively move forward with its greenhouse and CBD extraction initiatives in our home state of Texas to capitalize on this significant opportunity. As always, we will pursue our greenhouse hemp opportunity with our consistent
focus on short-term cash flow generation and achieving profitability as rapidly as possible.&#148; </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;DeGiglio added, &#147;High-value crops around the world are grown in high-tech, controlled
environment greenhouses and we believe that a significant proportion of the market for CBD, such as that for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">high-end</FONT> health and wellness products and the pharmaceutical industry will demand premium-grade
product derived from hemp that is grown sustainably and to the highest standards and exacting specifications, and available continuously year round. As we are proving at our Pure Sunfarms joint venture in Canada, we expect the conversion of the
existing Permian Basin operations to benefit from both our track record of developing large-scale agricultural products and our decades of site-specific experience, including climatological data, our expert growing team and an established skilled
labour force. Importantly, as a result of its location in West Texas, the Permian Basin facility will not require supplemental lighting for year-round growing, contributing to our overarching objective of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT> production. It&#146;s a significant advantage over operations in higher latitudes.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Completed in
2011 and located in Monahans, Texas, Village Farms&#146; Permian Basin facility is one of the most technologically advanced greenhouses in the world. It is based on the Company&#146;s proprietary

climatic factors, with thousands of different variations. In addition to its 1.3&nbsp;million square foot Permian Basin facility, Village Farms owns and operates three <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT

one of the largest and longest-operating vertically integrated greenhouse growers in North America and the only publicly traded greenhouse produce company in Canada. Village Farms produces and distributes fresh, premium-quality produce with
consistency 365 days a year to national grocers in the U.S. and Canada from more than nine million square feet of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) greenhouses in British Columbia and Texas, as well as from its partner greenhouses in British
Columbia, Ontario and Mexico. The Company is now leveraging its 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated grower for the rapidly emerging global cannabis opportunity through its 50% ownership of British Columbia-based Pure Sunfarms Corp.,
one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world. The Company also intends to pursue opportunities to become a vertically integrated leader in the U.S. hemp-derived CBD market, subject to compliance with all applicable U.S. federal
and state laws, Village Farms has established two joint ventures, Village Fields Hemp and Arkansas Valley Green and Gold Hemp, for outdoor hemp cultivation and CBD extraction and is pursuing controlled environment hemp production at a portion of its
Texas greenhouse operations, which total 5.7&nbsp;million square feet of production area. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Cautionary Language </B></P>

materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in the Company&#146;s filings with U.S. and Canadian securities regulators, including as
detailed in the Company&#146;s annual information form and management&#146;s discussion and analysis for the year-ended December&nbsp;31, 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When
