Jacana Holdings
Founded in 2017, Jacana is a pioneering global medical cannabis company that raised $20 million as an initial investment. The company said it plans to use the money to build its business and to cultivate, develop and distribute certified medical cannabis solutions. Aside from the investment, Jacana completed the first-ever international export of marijuana flower from Jamaica. In September, the country’s government approved the first-ever export of cannabis oil to Canada. With a global team located in Jamaica, Canada and the UK, Jacana is a world leader in the outdoor cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis. This is currently being naturally grown at Jacana’s flagship 4.4 million square foot/100 acre farm in Saint Ann, Jamaica, where the unique microclimate creates the perfect conditions for cannabis plant cultivation.
