Out of the 126 licensed cannabis companies in Columbia, only 16 companies are permitted to produce seeds. Each company registered 10 batches of genetics at a time, carefully measuring their characteristics before being put on the market. Pideka is the first licensed Columbian producer to cultivate and process cannabis with the same standards as Canada and Europe. Because of these high-quality standards, the rest of the world is looking at Columbia as the next global seed bank.
This is huge for the industry because as more countries move forward with legalization, they will need to source their seeds and strains legally as well. For years, seed production has been one of the more profitable markets in the industry, but it’s mostly been operating in the dark. With companies like Pideka, there’s an opportunity for genetics to legitimize with the rest of the industry.
