AGRiMED AFRICA
Introduction
Agrimed is a company with a dynamic, enterprising and socially conscious spirit. We are activists who aim to ensure that the development of this industry in Africa takes into account the countless individuals and communities who have been marginalised by it's prohibition.
We are also business people who appreciate that our endeavours must be guided by economic feasibility subject to stringent corporate governance criteria.
Vision
Agrimed aims to utilise the indigenous African knowledge – accumulated over thousands of years – by communities who have a profound understanding of growing and harvesting the plant, and leveraging its many health and wellness benefits.
We are establishing and formalizing community based growing schemes to empower the communities with technical and financial assistance as well as a vehicle for access to international markets. Agrimed is a company with a dynamic, enterprising and socially conscious spirit. Our objective is to use African expertise to bring to the global market the proven health benefits of cannabis, a plant that thrives on our continent, to the global market.
Mission
The global relaxation of the prohibition and legalization of cannabis presents exciting opportunities for Africa to become a global leader in the industry. Africa has a natural competitive advantage and can be a lowest cost producer of cannabis products. African states that react to the global trend proactively have the potential to be leaders in this international market and this booming sector.

• County specific development strategy and policies
• Country specific legislation
• Cultural and tribal factors
• Access to finance
• Marketing ability

For consumers: Agrimed brings exceptional African medicinal cannabis products to the global market through hybridizing African landrace varieties with internationally recognized medical cannabis strains.
Strategic Overview
Our model utilizes community based networks of indigenous growers:
Consistent with Agrimed's agenda of enriching lives in the areas where we are active, and especially in historically disadvantaged regions, community based growing schemes are formalized.
Enterprise development programs are implemented and the transfer of the necessary skills ensure long term sustainability on the ground. The skills development program includes all aspects of production, natural resource management, workable logistics and assistance and guidance in how to enter the main stream economy.
Due to the favorable climate conditions in Africa where all-year sunshine is the norm, there is a reduce need for excessive lighting, as required on other continents. Not only does this reduce capital expenditure and operational costs, but results in a higher quality end product. Our organic cultivation systems promote environmental conservation and the protection of natural resources.
The power generation facilities are based on sustainable, renewable energy sources wherever possible and in Lesotho and Mozambique its hydro power and sun that powers our grow ops.
Agrimed's extensive network ensures consistent and stable product supply and reduces transaction costs related to product sourcing. Capitalising on the growing global demand for medicinal cannabis, has enabled Agrimed to offer very attractive terms for its customers and growers alike.
Uplifting local communities through commercially viable enterprise development programmes, augmented by skills development and training is a driving motivator of the Agrimed business model.
For the sake of enriching the lives of historically disadvantaged communities we aim to establish and formalize community based growing schemes and to provide them with the necessary technical, logistical and financial support.
Due to the organic nature of our production, and low lighting requirements as a result of ample all year round sunshine, these factors reduces the input costs substantially and produces a higher quality medicine and product in general, with no toxins. We grow on virgin soils which have never been cultivated or fertilized, all the electricity we do use is from sustainable renewable sources.
Most critically, our network enables our customers to reduce transaction costs involved in product sourcing while building a strong purchasing relationship with Agrimed. Capitalizing on growing global demand for medical cannabis products enables Agrimed to offer forward commitments, premium pricing offers, and volume purchase agreements. Uplifting local communities through access to legitimate revenue streams, skills training and increased crop value is a driving motivator for the Agrimed business.
