GMP Pathway

Workflow steps

1. GMP Assessment
   Jamaica has its own GMP standard overseen by CLA. For EU export, EU-GMP Part I from an EEA authority is required. Heritage brand positioning underpins quality differentiation.
2. Target export market?
   GMP pathway depends on target market. EU requires EU-GMP Part I from an EEA authority. Other markets may accept Jamaica's own GMP standard.
3. EU-GMP Part I Required — For EU market export
   EU-GMP Part I certification from an EEA competent authority is required for EU export. Jamaican manufacturers must obtain this through EEA authority inspection of their Jamaican site.
   • EEA authority inspection of Jamaican site
   • Full EU-GMP implementation
   • EU QP for batch release
   • Significant investment required
4. Jamaica GMP Standard — Other markets / domestic
   Jamaica's own GMP standard under CLA oversight. Accepted for domestic use and non-EU export markets. Heritage brand positioning reinforces quality differentiation.
   • CLA GMP inspection of facility
   • Jamaica GMP compliance
   • Product quality testing to Jamaica Standards
   • Annual CLA inspection cycle
5. GMP Pathway Defined ✓
   GMP pathway identified for target market. Heritage brand positioning — 'Ganja' as cultural identity — reinforces quality expectations.
