From Seed
to Export

Seed / Seedling

Phase 1

Seed / Seedling

The journey begins with the planting material. For cannabis, the permit/licence covers the import of seeds or seedlings, or their propagation, in accordance with the conditions and procedures established by the applicable legislation.

Traceability begins with the identification of the origin and is maintained throughout every stage of the production cycle.

Planting

Phase 2

Planting

Planting is carried out in authorised areas and cultivation sites, in accordance with the applicable cultivation standards. At this stage, the location, cultivation area, licensed entity, and planting material are documented.

The recording of this information establishes the link between the licensed entity, the cultivation plot, and the production cycle.

Growth

Phase 3

Cultivation

Cultivation covers the process from planting to harvesting. The activity is supervised to verify compliance with the permit/licence, the applicable technical standards, and the approved production plan.

Monitoring is not limited to a single point in time; it extends throughout the entire cultivation cycle.

Development control

Phase 4

Development control

During the plant's growth stages, supervision focuses on verifying compliance of the cultivation activities with the conditions of the permit/licence and the applicable standards. The recorded data remain part of the traceability chain.

Visual, administrative and technical controls serve to ensure security and legal compliance.

Harvesting

Phase 5

Harvesting

Harvesting marks the transition from the plant's biological development to the management of plant material. Quantities, location and the holder are linked to the registration records and the continuity of traceability.

Any change in the status of the plant material shall be documented and verifiable.

Processing

Phase 6

Processing

Following harvesting, the plant material undergoes drying, processing, storage and warehousing. These activities form part of the authorised activity and remain linked to the traceability system.

Technical standards and the recording of activities ensure continuous control.

Laboratory Testing

Phase 7

Laboratory Testing

Quality control is supported by laboratory testing to determine cannabinoid content and physico-chemical and microbiological parameters, in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Laboratory results serve to verify quality and compliance.

Packaging

Phase 8

Packaging

Packaging and the product form are subject to quality control, quantity control and documentation requirements. Packaging information supports product identification.

Labelling and identification facilitate product traceability throughout the distribution chain.

Transport

Phase 9

Transport

The transportation of seeds, plants, by-products, and finished products is carried out in accordance with the conditions of the applicable permit/license and relevant regulations. Each movement remains an integral part of the traceability chain.

Traceability enables the identification of the location and the responsible holder of the materials throughout their movement.

Export

Phase 10

Export

Traceability enables the identification of the location and the responsible holder of the materials throughout their movement.

From seed to export, the system is designed to ensure control, traceability and legal compliance.
