Green gold fails to sparkle: Jamaica's Ganja Farmers Struggle (Part 3 of 3)
Sep 8th, 2024 | Category: News & Features | 10:32#JamaicaGleaner #Marijuana #Ganja #CLA #Cannabis #Part3 SEPTEMBER 8, 2024: The promise of Jamaica’s ‘green rush’ through ganja liberalisation was already slipping away for New Level Farms before Hurricane Beryl hit Jamaica’s southern coast in July, with devastating consequences. Maurice Ellis, an agro-processor and a vice president of the Ganja Growers and Producers Association of Jamaica (GGPAJ) stated that since Beryl, an outbreak of Septoria leaf spot – a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants – has compounded recovery efforts. Despite the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA) reaching out for a post-hurricane status update and a report submitted, support remains elusive.
