Officially, the season of planting the first legal cannabis crop has been launched after the seeds suitable for this process were imported and distributed to cultivators.
According to the data obtained by Hespress, the first batch of imported seeds was delivered to farmers and cooperatives in the provinces of Al Hoceima, Chefchaouen and Taounate, and the minutes of receipt were signed on Sunday.
An informed source confirmed that seeds suitable for the cultivation of 105 hectares, which were distributed to more than 170 farmers, were distributed.
One investor who imported seeds from Switzerland said that the distribution of seeds, about 760,000 seeds, revived the farmers and encouraged them to engage in this ambitious project, noting that during the next agricultural season 500 farmers will be targeted.
The Department of Customs and Indirect Taxes issued a periodical regarding the application of import and export requirements for cannabis seeds and plants, pursuant to Law 13.21 on the Legal Use of Cannabis.
Article III of the Law on the Legitimate Uses of Cannabis Hemp states that the import and export of seeds and plants is subject to a license granted by the National Agency for the Legalization of Activities Related to Cannabis.
The journal also pointed out that Article XII of the same law stipulates that those who obtain import or export licenses must be of Moroccan nationality and are of legal age and meet the conditions stipulated by the laws in force regarding the production and marketing of seeds and plants.
Article XIII of the Law on the Legitimate Uses of Cannabis stipulates that owners of export and import licenses can only import seeds approved by the Agency in line with the decision of the Ministries of Interior and Agriculture No. 1295-22 of May 12, 2022 on the conditions and methods of the adoption of seeds and plants.
