BASSETERRE, St. Kitts and Nevis — The St. Kitts and Nevis Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) has taken another step toward developing the Federation’s medicinal cannabis industry with the implementation of a new Seed-to-Sale Track and Trace System, even as the Authority has not yet announced the issuance of its first commercial medicinal cannabis licence. Chief Executive Officer Nadiv Mills said the software, supplied by internationally recognised Canadian company GrowerIQ, will monitor every stage of the medicinal cannabis supply chain—from cultivation and processing through distribution and retail. Local producers are expected to receive specialised training to ensure they can effectively use the tracking platform once commercial operations begin. While the implementation of the tracking system represents a significant regulatory milestone, the MCA has not yet publicly announced the granting of its first medicinal cannabis licence. The Authority has indicated that establishing strong compliance, operational oversight and financial safeguards remains a priority as the Federation continues developing the legal medicinal cannabis industry.
