Costa Rica

What this industry can mean for Costa Rica

A licensed THC and natural products manufacturing laboratory creates long term investment and export income, and it prepares the ground for Costa Rican patients.

Local value

From farm to pharmacy in Cartago

Cultivation, extraction, formulation, testing and packaging all happen in Costa Rica. The laboratory turns locally grown, EU-GACP certified flower into finished medicine for regulated medical markets.

  • Cultivation and propagation at Hybrida Farms
  • Extraction, formulation and filling in El Guarco
  • Quality control and batch release testing
  • Documentation and logistics from Cartago

Families

Keeping value in the Central Valley

The supply chain stays in Costa Rica: flower is grown here, processed here, tested here and shipped from here. That means local suppliers, local technical services and a larger share of export revenue retained at home.

Investment

Tens of millions of dollars invested in Cartago

The investment is in buildings, laboratory equipment, manufacturing lines and people, in the province of Cartago. It is a long term commitment to producing finished medicine in Costa Rica rather than exporting raw material.

Patients at home

Costa Rican patients

We intend to serve Costa Rican patients as soon as the national regulatory framework permits. Until then our work is to build the manufacturing and quality capability that domestic supply would require.

Costa Rica has grown fine agricultural products for the world for a century. Now we can make the medicine here too, with our own people, our own standards and our own documentation.

Commitment

How we intend to behave in this industry

Say only what we can document

Licences, certifications and test results are stated exactly as they exist, with no wider claim.

Keep the value chain here

Cultivation, manufacturing, testing and documentation all happen in Costa Rica.

Work with the regulator

We operate inside the framework set by the Ministry of Health and expect to be inspected.

Use the grid we have

Costa Rica's electricity is more than 95 percent renewable, which lowers the footprint of manufacturing here.
