Audley Shaw, minister of industry, commerce, agriculture and fisheries, has announced Jamaica’s first legal export of medical marijuana extracted oil to Canada. The shipment to Canada was authorized through an import permit issued by the government of Canada through Health Canada for Jamaica, and an export permit issued by the ministry of health in Jamaica. The shipment marks the first step in positioning Jamaica as the medical marijuana hub for the world.
According to Shaw, “Jamaica is uniquely positioned to be a global player and we are committed to providing the leadership and resources required for opening the international markets including Canada and Europe for our licensed and regulated Jamaican companies.” The minister’s statement was endorsed by Lincoln Allen, CEO of the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA) who has also identified international export opportunities as a major target for the CLA.
