Zimbabwe’s first medical cannabis farm will be a 10-hectare plot at a prison. The license was granted nearly one year after the government legalized cannabis cultivation for medical and scientific purposes.
Under the 2018 law, cannabis cultivators in Zimbabwe are subject to a $10,000 application fee and can only import and export products out of the Robert Mugabe International Airport. Zimbabwe is the second African nation to legalize cannabis for medical use, following Lesotho, along with South Africa.
Last year, Zimbabwe officials stalled the licensing process after the government received more than 350 applications that offered wildly different estimates with regard to how much money could be made on how much land.
