Supply Management · Medical cannabis into Germany
After first-batch qualification, Cannventure reviews each new batch against the standard the processor accepted and assembles each shipment’s file in the agreed format. Everyone on the route reads one record. Cannventure holds no title, no inventory, and no licence.
Qualification proves one batch met one standard on one day.
Discuss live shipmentsRead the analysis behind this workThree things keep moving after qualification day, and any of them can put the next shipment out of specification before anyone notices.
Harvests change. So do drying runs and lab results. Each batch after the first is re-checked against the intake standard the processor accepted, and against what the operating record already declares. That record is concrete. BfArM’s trader guidance requires every cultivar to be listed separately on the trader’s permit, and holds an extract’s THC content to within ±10% of its declared value.

In September 2025, Germany’s import ceiling for the year (the INCB estimate, set under the UN narcotics system) ran out and BfArM paused new import authorisations until the ceiling was raised to 192,484 kg on 20 October. A shipment planned in August met different paperwork in September. The reference documents move too: EMA published the first revision since 2006 of the GACP guideline, the cultivation-side good-practice standard, in August 2025, and a further amendment to the medical-cannabis law sits in the Bundestag as of mid-2026.

Germany imported 201,094 kg of medical-cannabis flower in 2025 — the total BfArM first published, later revised upward. Over the same year the average price paid on Bloomwell’s platform fell from EUR 8.33 to EUR 5.23 per gram, and reached EUR 4.52 by March 2026. A cheaper market is a stricter market: compression leaves less room to absorb a shipment that gets turned back.

Supply management is the work of catching each of these before it reaches a shipment.
Each new batch is checked against the standard the processor accepted at qualification. Specification and lab results first, then whatever changed since the last shipment.
Produces: a batch review, every batch

The shipment pack is built in the structure the processor and the importer agreed at qualification. Same order, same documents, every shipment.

Processor and buyer timing, and the open questions, are carried while the batch can still be corrected. Decisions made on one shipment are written into the next one’s file.
Keeps: one record across farm, processor, importer

In 2025, 201,094 kg of medical-cannabis flower entered Germany, the total BfArM first published and later revised upward. Every kilogram crossed at least one border and one pharmaceutical-grade (EU-GMP) processing step before a pharmacy could dispense it. Cannventure coordinates along that map and operates no facility on it.
Enters from outside the EU.
Grows at scale (38 INFARMED-licensed cultivation companies by October 2025) and also finishes other countries’ harvests for re-export.
A licensed industry built on importing flower, primarily Canadian, for EU-GMP processing and export. Domestic cultivation is minimal.
Country of export on the import paperwork, not where the plant was grown.

Poland took 4.8 t of it, the largest single destination.
About 3% of what Germany imported the same year.
≈105,000 patients in 2025; no domestic product in pharmacies as of mid-2026.
Every crossing on this map, including between EU states, runs on per-shipment import and export authorisations. The file discipline repeats at each border.

Movement here is paperwork before it is freight: EU-GMP processing and release by a Qualified Person (EudraLex Annex 16), per-shipment authorisations (§§ 12, 14 MedCanG), and for third-country goods an import licence (§ 72 AMG).
