KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Audley Shaw, has welcomed the newly appointed chairman of the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA), Le Vaugh *****, and has tasked the chairman to move post-haste to improve the growth of the industry.
Speaking at a virtual introductory meeting hosted by the Ministry today, Shaw, while noting the work of the previous board, staff and stakeholders of the CLA, said all efforts must now be placed on moving the cannabis industry forward if Jamaica is to take its rightful place in the global arena.
“We have a lot of catching up to do if we are going to hold on to a piece of the pie of the global cannabis industry,” Shaw said.
The export regulations to support stakeholders' push to launch out globally are now at the final stages before promulgation, the Minister said adding that work has been done to remove the impediments to the take-off of the industry.
