Clever Leaves receives largest quota of its kind in the country

Colombia has one of the most robust and comprehensive regulations against the development of the medical cannabis industry. This regulation, coupled with strategic geographical advantages and a favorable political environment, makes Colombia a major global power.

In the framework of the development of the industry on Nov. 29, 2019, the National Government granted Clever Leaves quotas for the cultivation of medical cannabis with high-THC.

This quota, with commercial purposes, will be destined to the elaboration of medical-grade products for patients worldwide, reinforcing the positioning of Clever Leaves as pioneers in the industry.

This quota designation is believed to be the largest of its kind issued to a Colombian licensed producer.

Clever Leaves aims to be pioneers in the industry

“Clever Leaves has positioned itself as a pioneer producer in the medical cannabis industry in Colombia. With this authorization, the company strengthens its image as an export leader in Latin America capable of legally reaching all markets around the world that allow its commercialization. Prior to the designation of this quota, Colombia stood out largely for its hemp, and now, this achievement marked the formal entry of Clever Leaves and Colombia into the growing international medical cannabis industry,” said Kyle Detwiler, CEO of Clever Leaves.

In order to obtain the quota, Clever Leaves had to demonstrate its commitment and responsible process to governmental institutions during the stages of investigation and stabilization of the cannabis varieties that it cultivates, as well as the scientific trials to obtain extracts and products with stability and security for the patients.

The future of the company

It should be remembered that Clever Leaves is the only medical cannabis company whose laboratory has Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification from Invima, which affirms the pharmaceutical quality of its products.

“Our team in Colombia has worked diligently to comply with the rigorous regulatory process to obtain the quota mentioned by the National Government. We hope to increase our share in the coming years in order to become the largest exporters of cannabis with high THC content, which will leverage us to meet the demand of patients around the world with pharmaceutical grade products,” said Andrés Fajardo, President of Clever Leaves.
