Frequently asked questions
Answers for licensed buyers and cultivators.
Who can buy from Verdant?
Appropriately licensed and authorised businesses, locally and internationally. We verify licences and documentation before we trade.
Do you supply product, or only pack it?
Both, in the sense that matters to you. As an aggregator, we source licensed supply from South Africa and, through import, internationally, and supply licensed buyers, so you have one point of contact. We then fine-pack to your specification.
I am a cultivator. How do I sell through Verdant?
Email us. We verify your licences, review your GACP or GMP certification and certificates of analysis, qualify the material and agree specifications and a quality agreement before supply begins. See the cultivator path.
Can you package to my specifications and branding?
Yes. Packages to customer specs are our headline offer: custom formats, sizes and labelling to client-approved artwork, within the scope of our licences. Pack sizes and formats we have done are examples only.
Do you import and export?
Yes. Verdant imports and exports, within the scope of our licences and permits. International shipments depend on the permits of the importing and exporting parties.
What is the difference between GACP and GMP?
GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice) covers how plant-based starting material is grown, harvested and handled. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) covers how product is processed, packed, tested and released. We accept GACP-certified material and bring it to GMP output, and we also handle material that is GMP from the start (GMP ab initio).
What licences and registrations do you hold?
We are licensed by SAHPRA, hold a GMP certificate (South Africa), and are a registered Grade A wholesale pharmacy with the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC). Details are provided to verified partners on request.
How do I know I am really dealing with Verdant?
Our only official email address is info@verdantpharm.com. We never request payment or orders through unofficial channels, phone numbers or messaging apps. If in doubt, do not act: write to us at that address to verify.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your company name and role (buyer or cultivator), copies of your relevant licences and permits, and your specification or packaging requirement. Cultivators and suppliers should also include their GACP or GMP certification and recent certificates of analysis. Please do not send banking details by email.
What about pricing and turnaround?
These depend on the specification, so we quote on request. We do not publish pricing, minimum orders or lead times. Tell us what you need.
