Ora Pharm is proud to announce the launch of its new plant processing and export services for other medicinal cannabis cultivators across the country. This strategic move is set to lower barriers to entry and improve profitability for medicinal cannabis growers by reducing costs associated with plant processing, streamlining the export process, ensuring rigorous quality control, and improving overall efficiency.
Currently, around one-third of New Zealand’s licensed cannabis cultivators have chosen to collaborate with Ora Pharm, leveraging these new services to enhance their operations. By accessing Ora Pharm’s resources, these cultivators can significantly lower production costs and optimise their supply chain. Centralising these crucial operations with Ora Pharm ensures that all products meet the highest standards of quality and compliance, facilitating smoother export processes and a more consistent flow of New Zealand grown cannabis exports to international markets.
“Our mission at Ora Pharm is to bolster the growth and sustainability of New Zealand’s medicinal cannabis industry,” says Zoe Reece, CEO of Ora Pharm. “By providing these specialised services, we allow cultivators to focus on their core competency — growing premium medicinal cannabis — while we handle the processing and export logistics. This cooperative approach not only cuts costs but also enhances the overall quality and reliability of New Zealand’s medicinal cannabis in the global market.”
In addition to these new services, Ora Pharm is thrilled to announce that Breathe Life Sciences Pty Ltd, a division of Bioxyne Ltd (BXN:ASX), a global leader in medicinal cannabis, has selected Ora Pharm as the only supplier from New Zealand on its AI generated Cannabis trading platform CanXChange. This development is based on Ora Pharm’s capability to represent products from multiple cultivators, which ensures that the best of New Zealand’s medicinal cannabis products are represented on the platform. This exclusive supply agreement opens significant opportunities for New Zealand products to penetrate the Australian market.
CanXChange is designed to revolutionise the trading of medicinal cannabis in Australia, offering a centralised platform for buyers and sellers. As the exclusive New Zealand supplier, Ora Pharm will ensure that CanXChange customers have access to the highest quality medicinal cannabis products that New Zealand has to offer, based on their stringent quality standards and therapeutic efficacy.
“We are excited about our partnership with CanXChange and the opportunity to bring New Zealand’s superior medicinal cannabis products to the Australian market,” added Zoe Reece. “This agreement is a testament to the quality of our products and our dedication to excellence in every facet of our operations.”
Sally King, Executive Director of the New Zealand Medicinal Cannabis Council (NZMCC), highlighted the industry-wide benefits of Ora Pharm’s new services and partnerships: “New Zealand’s approach to this sunrise sector is to work collaboratively, supporting all participants – craft cultivators to vertically integrated suppliers – to expand NZ’s reputation for sustainable, ethical, highest quality medicinal cannabis genetics, ingredients and medicines. Ora Pharm’s new export service is another significant step to growing New Zealand’s share of premium, patient-focussed medicinal cannabis solutions for the world. An important and very welcome development”
