NOVAGRIC Projects

Project to grow medical cannabis in GMP quality

From zero to produce medical Cannabis in 24 months, according to the legality and EU – GMP regulations in a controlled environment greenhouse.

This is the story of a long, long-distance race, full of challenges and uncertainties in the European medical Cannabis industry.

At first, the path was unfamiliar and risky. In the process we have alternated sharing concerns, setbacks, doubts and disappointments, with satisfaction, pride, companionship and the company’s patient, unconditional support, based on rigor, responsibility and high standards.

The greenhouse design project started in April 2022, the greenhouse construction was completed in July and by December it was possible to start production.
In May, inspections for EU GMP-quality cannabis certification began and finally in April 2024 the first commercially available pharmaceutical-quality batch was obtained.

A path taken by a determined team, with things clear and with one goal in mind: To become the best growers in Europe of Cannabis flower for medicinal use.

At Novagric we want to make it very easy for you. That’s why we accompany you from the design of the idea to the start-up of your profitable agriculture project
