About Medigrow Africa

Medigrow Africa is the the largest collective of African cannabis businesses and it dominates the African medicinal cannabis industry. Medigrow benefits from lower labor, land, and regulatory costs.

Vision
​Produce European-quality medicinal cannabis with an African cost base.
​Mission
​Our mission is to give as many people in the world access to medicine from the cannabis plant and to benefit as many Africans as possible through the establishment of a medicinal cannabis industry in Africa.
​Strategy
​For our customers: Medigrow Africa brings exceptional African medicinal cannabis products to the global market by combining global best practice and technical resources with traditional local knowledge and Africa's favorable climate to grow the highest standard of cannabis.
​Sustainability
​Medigrow respects human rights, the rule of law, justice and equality. Therefore, we aim to fully align with the United Nations Agenda 2030 (the Sustainable Development Goals).
​The Global Cannabis market is booming through legalization, declassification, research, entrepreneurship and broader social acceptance. Africa is no different, which is evident in the number of countries that have legalized medicinal cannabis production recently.
​Medigrow envisions Africa as the "centre-court" of future cannabis cultivation. We can see the beginnings of a new legal/formal industry and consequently new means of income, especially in rural areas around Africa. In the longer term, we are convinced that the African Cannabis Industry can help bring steady income to many people that lack work today, assist in building up infrastructure, and blur social stigmas while providing world-class medicinal cannabis to the globe."
​Our underlying environmental philosophy is continuing to investigate ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.
​As part of Medigrow Africa's intent to maximize the return on every hectare of cannabis, we are particularly mindful of the possible impacts of our operations on the use of natural resources and strive to minimize our impacts through efficient use responsibly and sustainably and through committing ourselves to continuous improvement.
​We strive to comply with all applicable in-country environmental regulations. Furthermore, we are investigating a range of initiatives to preserve ecosystem integrity, protect biodiversity and enhance agricultural sustainability.
