Licensed import and export of medical cannabis across the Caribbean and beyond.
GCF International is a Jamaica based trade, distribution and cultivation company. We move product legally between licensed farmers, producers, clinics, pharmacies and regulated partners across the region and to international markets where permits allow.
Trade corridors into 9 Caribbean territories
The Caribbean's licensed cannabis trade partner.
GCF International is a licensed medical cannabis company based in Jamaica. We import, export and distribute pharmaceutical grade product for licensed farmers, producers, clinics, pharmacies and government partners across the region and internationally. We also cultivate and process, which means we understand supply from both sides of the transaction. Every batch is tested, documented and shipped with a Certificate of Analysis.
Our model is built on partnership with local growers, not gatekeeping. We believe the record for cannabis exportation from Jamaica should be held by Jamaicans, and that the value created should return to the farmers and communities who produce it.
Who we serve.
Trade is the core of our business. We connect licensed supply with licensed demand and carry the regulatory burden in between. Our services are structured for permit holders, not retail traffic.
- Licensed farmers and producers seeking local, regional and international export routes
- Clinics, pharmacies and pharmacy networks
- Regional distributors and wholesalers
- Government health agencies and procurement
- Licensed operators and research institutions
Export services
We act as the export arm for licensed Jamaican farmers and producers. Permits, testing, labelling, consolidation and freight are handled under one contract, with international destinations where treaty conditions allow.
Import services
For licensed buyers who cannot bring product in themselves. Source verification, import permits, customs clearance and final delivery, including international inbound movements into Jamaica for processing or onward export.
Distribution
GDP compliant retail and wholesale distribution to clinics, pharmacies and licensed operators, with batch tracking end to end.
Cultivation and processing
CLA licensed cultivation and processing in Jamaica, used to supply our own trade programme and to add value to partner farm harvests before export.
Compliance and advisory
Licensing, documentation and trade compliance support for governments, clinics and entrepreneurs entering the regulated sector.
Documentation and permits
Country specific paperwork prepared and filed on both legs of the movement, with records available for audit on request.
Our products
Consistent products, well documented.
We supply standardised flower, full spectrum oils and bulk extract, sourced from our own licensed facilities in Jamaica and from partner farms we work with directly. Products are prepared to the specification and labelling rules of the destination market, whether that market is in the Caribbean or overseas.
Partner farms keep their identity and receive fair terms. We do not buy anonymous bulk at the lowest price. We document provenance per lot and return value to the growers.

Facilities and licensing
Approved by the CLA.
GCF International holds a full set of licences from the Cannabis Licensing Authority of Jamaica, including import, export and distribution. Those permissions are what allow us to trade on behalf of farmers, producers and buyers who do not hold them, across the Caribbean and into international markets where treaty and permit conditions allow.
Our ambition is to break the record for cannabis exportation from Jamaica, with the proceeds returning to the local farmers and communities who make it possible.

Import, export and distribution
Proudly Jamaican. Built for the region and beyond.
Jamaica is our licensed base and our port of departure. We run outbound and inbound movements across the following markets, covering permits and regulatory documentation, cold chain and dry goods freight, customs clearance and partner onboarding. We also ship to international destinations where the legal framework supports it.
How we work.
A straightforward path from first enquiry to recurring, permit backed trade.
Enquire and qualify
Tell us what you hold, where the product is and where it needs to go. We confirm licence status, permit requirements and feasibility on both legs of the movement.
Specify, test and document
We match cultivars, formats and volumes to the requirement, arrange batch testing and prepare the import and export documentation for both jurisdictions.
Ship, clear and support
We book freight, manage customs clearance and chain of custody into your territory, then plan recurring movements after the first shipment lands.
Our commitments
Trade that benefits the people who grow it.
To Jamaican farmers
We work with licensed growers rather than displacing them. Fair pricing, transparent contracts and shared export documentation mean farmers keep ownership of their crop and receive a clear return when it ships.
To the local economy
Every export we facilitate is structured so value returns to Jamaica. Our goal is to break the record for cannabis exportation from Jamaica and to ensure the money flows back into the communities that produce it.
To our partners
Whether you are a local prescriber, a Caribbean distributor or an international buyer, you receive the same standard: tested product, complete paperwork and a supply chain you can explain to regulators.
