Greenfern Industries successfully harvested its first batch of medicinal cannabis in October 2023 at its Taranaki facility, passing New Zealand's stringent quality tests.

The batch was registered with Medsafe as a New Medicinal Cannabis Product, enabling export to Europe after receiving permits.

The second harvest was sold to Ampyl Sciences as part of a multi-year deal, with the third batch awaiting test results. Harvests are planned every 30-40 days.

The company has been approached by other prospective buyers, indicating demand for premium New Zealand medicinal cannabis, and plans to scale operations strategically.
