Ecuador has decided to venture into the cannabis industry since September 17, 2019 with the approval of the reform of the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code. For the use of cannabis for medicinal or therapeutic purposes as well as industrial hemp.

In February 2021, the seven licenses granted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG) to work in the cannabis industry were issued for the first time. The licenses allow the importation and sale of seeds and cuttings of non-psychoactive cannabis and industrial hemp.
Production, processing of derivatives, marketing, export and scientific studies.

Legal cannabis producers must have appropriate, specific and validated protocols in place to ensure that products derived from the plant are consistent and safe. These measures include mandatory testing for levels of cannabinoids, microbial contaminants, pesticide residues, elemental impurities, and residual solvents in products.

In Ecuador there are several pioneering companies that are following this business model is CannAndes, Hemp Ecuador, CBD Solutions SAS.
