The release of a draft resolution by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) regarding phytosanitary requirements for importing dried cannabis flower from Canada has raised alarms in the industry. While this is not yet a final decision, business leaders and industry experts warn of the potential negative effects on national production.
Lucas Nosiglia, a cannabis industry expert with extensive experience in the Colombian market, sums it up clearly: “Defining phytosanitary requirements does not mean that cannabis has already been imported from Canada… It means that ICA has determined what requirements are necessary for this to happen.”
