TB Farming AG has received the GACP certificate.
GACP serves to protect consumers and promote hemp as an agricultural product. Hemp products bearing this seal of quality are 100% cultivated in Switzerland and have a corresponding level of quality.
GACP, the abbreviation for “Good Agricultural and Collection Practices”, refers to good agricultural and collection practices. In Switzerland, these guidelines play an important role, particularly in the production of medicinal cannabis and other medicinal plants. The GACP guidelines are designed to ensure the quality, safety and traceability of herbal medicinal products by setting standards for the cultivation, harvesting and collection of plant material.
The implementation of GACP standards in Switzerland aims to ensure that plant products are grown and collected under controlled conditions. This includes the selection of suitable locations, ensuring adequate soil conditions and water supply, the use of pesticides and fertilizers in accordance with regulations and the application of sustainable cultivation and collection practices.
For producers of medicinal cannabis in Switzerland, such as TB Farming AG, compliance with the GACP guidelines is essential to guarantee the high quality of their products. The standards not only support environmentally friendly production, but also ensure that the manufactured products are free of contaminants and comply with legal requirements. In addition, compliance with GACP promotes transparency and traceability in the supply chain, which is beneficial for consumers and regulators alike.
The implementation of GACP contributes significantly to ensuring patient safety by guaranteeing the consistent quality of herbal starting materials. This is particularly important as the active ingredient content and composition of herbal medicinal products can be highly dependent on growing conditions. By adhering to these practices, Switzerland strengthens its position as a leading country in the production of high-quality, safe and effective herbal medicinal products and medicinal cannabis.
