Health products have been a major seller within Walmart.com’s online marketplace, and Walmart expects online sales to grow by more than thirty percent by the end of 2020.

“Walmart has been the next natural move for Canna Hemp, as the brand continues its expansion throughout 2020. Understanding the online marketplace and maintaining a stable e-commerce presence is vital for success in today’s web-based economy. Currently, Canna Hemp’s products are available through its website, cannahemp.com, as well as a host of other e-commerce sites, with more to come as the brand continues to grow.”
