For the first time, export data for Canadian cannabis is made available via Prohibition Partners new data and insights platform for the cannabis industry: Atalis. This new data shows a huge increase in the exports of cannabis from the country in 2020, as well as a changing network of countries that are importing from established producers in Canada.
The data show that producers in Canada exported 15.6 tons of dried cannabis flower and at least 7.3 kilolitres of cannabis oils and extracts during 2020. This likely means that Canada is the single largest exporter of cannabis flower and oil in the world, ahead of the Netherlands, whose exports shrank slightly in 2020 compared to 2019. GW Pharmaceuticals in the UK likely exports more cannabinoid products than either country in the form of pharmaceuticals such as Sativex and Epidiolex.
