The project is far from the dream that Governor Gerardo Morales expressed on more than one occasion: that Jujuy ceases to be a tobacco province to focus on the cultivation of medical cannabis. However, from the company they point out that it will allow a new model of collaboration between the public and private sectors to be tested: the beginning of a diversification process.

Although there are several associative projects in the country, the one in Jujuy is the one that is in the most advanced state of production and commercialization and for this reason the relevance of the announcement of the incorporation of private companies, a long-standing claim of small local producers .

The producers, who will be selected through a public tender, will not be able to install their production units anywhere. The project launched this week provides for the creation of an “incubation park” within the property that the Cannava company has at Finca El Pongo, half an hour from the provincial capital, in the town of Perico.
