“Another step towards a globalised medical cannabis trade network”
The trade deal between the European Union and Mercosur announced on 28 June 2019 at the G20 Summit in Japan, which is subject to ratification by member countries, establishes a trade framework for goods and services, including pharma and medical products, covering nearly 780 million consumers, making it the largest in the world in terms of population, and with an estimated trade in goods of 88 Billion Euros, according to the European Commission.
Alvaro Torres, Khiron CEO and Director, said: “As we build Khiron’s dominant position in Latin America and Mercosur markets through our operations in Uruguay, we welcome this trade deal as it strengthens our ability to now directly supply the European medical cannabis market.
“This significant milestone is another step towards a globalised medical cannabis trade network where Latin America, with its strategic location, many natural advantages and regulatory leadership, will continue to play a significant part.
