A special report by SIC Noticias, a leading Portuguese broadcaster, highlights the expanding medical cannabis industry in Portugal, making it one of the global export leaders.
Our General Manager of Iberia, Nuno Mendonça, provided key commentary and offered perspectives on Portugal’s favourable conditions for cultivation and production.
Notably, the report underscores:
- Portugal’s position as the largest exporter of medical cannabis in Europe and the second largest in the world, with an expected 32 tonnes to be exported this year alone.
- The country’s abundant sun exposure and relatively low operating costs.
- A robust and transparent licensing process that has fostered expertise and confidence in the sector.
