In-line & Release Testing

Workflow steps

1. Cultivation (GACP Site)
   Colombian outdoor and greenhouse cultivation under GACP. EU GACP or WHO GACP required for EU export. Colombia's climate enables year-round cultivation — sun-grown economics are highly competitive.
2. GACP Controls — Colombian Climate
   GACP compliance in Colombian conditions. Tropical/Andean climate presents specific challenges.
   • Humidity monitoring — mold risk in humid zones
   • Altitude variation documentation (Andean sites)
   • Pesticide records — EU MRL basis for EU export
   • Irrigation water quality monitoring
   • Variety documentation per MinJusticia license
3. Finished Product Testing
   Release testing per INVIMA BPM and target export market requirements.
   • THC/CBD potency (HPLC)
   • Microbiological — tropical climate mold/yeast risk
   • Mycotoxins — aflatoxins (critical in tropical climate)
   • Pesticide residues (EU MRL for EU export)
   • Heavy metals
   • Moisture content (critical — tropical humidity)
   • For EU export: full Ph. Eur. panel required
4. INVIMA Release + Export QP
   INVIMA-approved person releases for Colombian domestic use. For EU export, EU QP certifies each batch.
   • INVIMA person responsible for batch release
   • EU QP certification for EU export batches
   • QP signature on COA required for EU customs
5. Batch Released ✓
   Colombian cannabis available for domestic or export supply. Cost advantage: Colombian production costs are 3–10x lower than European counterparts.
