Their newly enforced regulations establish two agencies that provide licensing for hemp cultivation. The Ministry of Public Health provides licensing for medical production while the Ministry of Agriculture provides licensing for industrial and food production. Costa Rica has also signed a multitude of Free Trade Agreements, allowing the country to export hemp.
President Carlos Alvarado recently stated, “We will promote the cultivation of hemp to reactive the productive sector, with all the guarantees and security necessary.” Since January 2020, the Costa Rican government has legally permitted hemp production in order to stimulate its economy. The government has reported an issue for obtaining hemp seed– we’re honored to provide high CBD hemp seed for farmers in Costa Rica once the legal framework has been officially established.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
