Rapiphat said those who want to import seeds of the three crops must present a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin and a certificate that the seeds are not GMO produce. The import licence will be issued a day after the required documents are submitted, Rapiphat explained. He advised those who want to sell seeds of the three crops to sell only seeds that are endorsed by the Agriculture Department. “So, I would like to invite researchers and developers of hemp, marijuana and kratom to register with the Agriculture Department to seek endorsement of their species,” Rapipat said. Rapipat said his department is in charge of the three crops’ seeds now that they are no longer narcotics starting from Thursday.
