Germany: Cultivation licenses only in 2019

The public tender for the granting of medical cannabis cultivation licenses in Germany has seen several advances and setbacks in recent times, but the German government has a plan to grant the first licenses in the first quarter of 2019, with the first harvest expected in 2020. .

In early September, the German government released a timetable as a written response to questions from the Free Democratic Party's parliamentary group in the Bundestag, according to the German medical journal. Deutsches Airzteblatt.

Germany, which is poised to become one of the world's largest medical cannabis markets, this year the competition for the attribution of cultivation licenses for this species started again. In the new contest, whose application deadline is October 22, competitors with experience in growing and processing medicinal plants now have the same opportunities as those who already have experience in growing cannabis. 

Right now, Canadian and Dutch medical cannabis companies are already exporting record amounts to Germany.
