In a response seen by Pindula News, Maidza said: > Gvt has a programme of licencing growing medicinal Marijuana. A viable out-grower scheme can be developed using these guys as a foundation. Imagine that acreage without a greenhouse, drip irrigation or chemicals. Out-grower schemes are systems that link networks of unorganised smallholder farmers with domestic and international buyers. Also known as contract farming, these schemes provide benefits to players along the supply chain.
