National &
International News
Israel Passes Germany as World's Largest
Importer of Medical Cannabis Flower
Israel overtook Germany as the No. 1 importer of medical
cannabis flower in the world so far this year, according
to data compiled by Tel Aviv-based Israeli Cannabis
Magazine and Marijuana Business Daily.
As of July, Israeli imports surpassed 6 metric tons
(13,228 pounds), according to Oren Lebovitch, editor of
Israeli Cannabis Magazine.
He gathered the import numbers from companies'
public disclosures as well as replies he received from
several executives involved in the import side of the
transactions.
The latest German numbers, which stem from a reply
to a parliamentary inquiry, show about 3 metric tons
were imported as of end of May for pharmacy dispensing,
according to data reported by MJBizDaily.
26 Marijuana Business Magazine | September 2020
As of early June, almost 4 metric tons of flower had
been imported into Israel. The country had no large
imports before 2020, but in only six months, Israel became
the largest importer in the world, underscoring how quickly
things change in the nascent international industry.
Israel and Germany will likely be the only markets outside
North America in which more than a metric ton of high-THC
flower will be sold this year. Australia is the only significant
importer of high-THC oil.
Canada Accused of Cannabis 'Protectionism'
by Blocking Imports as Exports Soar
The Canadian government is being accused of insulating
domestic cannabis producers against foreign competition
by not allowing imports of medical marijuana, and at least
one foreign government plans to make a formal appeal to
federal officials.
