<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Legalizing the Cultivation of Hemp and Processing of Hemp and Hemp-Derived Products </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Vancouver, BC, June</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;11, 2019 &#150; </B>Village Farms International, Inc. (&#147;Village Farms&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (TSX:
VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) today announced that Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law Texas House Bill 1325 (the &#147;Texas Hemp Legislation&#148;), which effectively legalizes the cultivation of hemp and processing of hemp and hemp-derived products,
including cannabidiol (CBD) in the State. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously announced, in anticipation of the passage of the hemp legislation in Texas, 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><SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP></B> technology) for cultivation
of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">high-CBD</FONT> hemp and CBD extraction. The Texas Hemp Legislation will require licenses for both the cultivation and processing of hemp and Village Farms plans to apply for the requisite licenses as soon as it
is permitted to do so. 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">&#147;The Governor&#146;s signing of this
bill into law formalizes a significant opportunity for Village Farms as a first mover in the Texas hemp industry and will allow us to capitalize on the expected demand for premium-grade hemp grown in controlled-environment facilities for the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">high-end</FONT> health and wellness and the pharmaceutical industries,&#148; said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms International. &#147;Conversion of half of Permian Basin greenhouse in West Texas for hemp production
is now well underway and we look forward to commencing production as soon as possible upon Texas establishing a licensing and regulatory framework for hemp and CBD.&#148; </P>

Texas greenhouse operations, which total 5.7&nbsp;million square feet of production area. </P>
