Since October 19th, cannabis for medicinal purposes (less than 1% THC) and industrial hemp are legal in Ecuador, South America.
We are a small non-profit agricultural cooperative that is going to ask for a Cannabis production license (You can check the regulation here: https://twitter.com/CooproAnanda/status/1318580338185089026). Along with other 2 non-profit organization, we would like to have a volunteer that can teach us everything we need to know. She/he must have experience in:
large scale growing (between 300 and 20,000 square meters).
hydroponics
pest management and control
lights, irrigation
Cannabis waste management
extraction, edibles, other products
spanish (desirable)
We can provide housing in a family, meals and a small weekly/montly fee for pocket money. The main project is based in the central highlands of Ecuador, in the capital of the Chimborazo province, city of Riobamba (Riobamba - Wikipedia).
The team will start working remotely ASAP to develop a 200 square meter hydroponic system. In situ work will start once we have the license, that could be April 2021.
Interested? Drop me a message here or to my e-mail paulmoreno@ananda.ec
Thanks for your time, greetings from the middle of the world, Ecuador.
So is this going to be a indoor or outdoor grow? Or both? There are lots of jobs getting posted here in the US and elsewhere for GOOD pay, I don’t think your going to have much luck getting someone down there for living expenses, unless they just want to take a expenses paid trip to South America.
I thought about retiring there. There are quite a few ex-pat communities down there. You might want to put feelers out in that community. Might find a horticulturist already living there.
We at Key to Life Supply have a hemp farm in Ecuador we have worked with since 2019.
I’m familiar with the .1% THC limit and it’s very forgiving.
We are here to help you from the USA by phone and email without charging you money.
@paulcoyote, lovely watching you grow from strength to strength in the middle of the world. Wishing you the best success for 2021. Wish I could pack it in here and come and help. What an opportunity and get out the comfort zone and do something new and different. @FarmerK awesome to help with hands on experience. Big things coming out Ecuador that is for sure.
Hi @FarmerK, thanks for your help! We are going to start with a small 100 square meter hydroponics and will go up further. The regulation states that you have to get a minimum of 2 hectares in 5 years, so, we’ll start small until the 1% limit is reached. Also, we wanto to grow organic 100%!
