Clever Leaves, Paradise Seeds develop, register genetic assets in Colombia

Clever Leaves announced that through its partnership with award-winning Dutch seed bank, Paradise Seeds, to develop and register high performance cannabis cultivars in Colombia, Clever Leaves will have exclusive license to cultivate some of these genetics, while Paradise will make other cultivars available to third parties for cultivation across Colombia and Latin America. The two companies have already begun rigorous selection, phenotyping, and agronomic trials of several Paradise varieties at Clever Leaves’ facility in order to register market-leading cultivars for production and commercialization. “Our partnership with Paradise, a company renowned for strains that have won multiple awards-including the High Times Cup, Highlife Cup, and Plant of the Year-represents an immense opportunity to expand Clever Leaves’ global footprint through the registration of Paradise’s genetics. By combining Paradise’s renowned strains with the knowledge and capabilities Clever Leaves has built in Colombia, we can strengthen our portfolio and export new strains to countries where medical cannabis is allowed,” said Andres Fajardo, CEO of Clever Leaves.
