Other African Activity
Emerging Processors (Ghana, Zimbabwe & others)
As licensing frameworks expand (e.g. Ghana’s NACOC regime and Zimbabwe’s medicinal/hemp licences), additional processing and manufacturing capacity is developing. Many early-stage operators focus on extraction for export or local value-addition of hemp fibre and cannabinoid oils. Specific operational processors remain limited compared with South Africa and Lesotho.
