Cannabis plant: Rwanda to issue licenses to growers mainly for export
The Rwandan government will issue licenses for growing cannabis for medical use and export, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) said late Tuesday.
The announcement followed Monday’s cabinet decision that approved the regulatory guidelines on the cultivation, processing and export of high-value therapeutic crops.
The central African nation will begin to receive applications for licenses from investors interested in cannabis, though cannabis consumption in the country still remains prohibited, the RDB said in a statement.
“Medical cannabis produced in Rwanda is solely for export markets,” it said, adding that the government of Rwanda expects to generate significant export revenues and employment opportunities in high-value agriculture and agro-processing.
But going forward, the country should be able to supply the herb.
He also warned that that relevant laws and guidelines on cultivating and exporting cannabis in Rwanda will be strictly implemented.
He said the government will not allow the abuse of cannabis such as smoking, which is criminalized by the law.
