Dedicating two years to establish operations, Leah spent the extra time and resources to set up pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing facilities and processes for deDANÚ’s products so that every batch is produced to the highest standards possible, something not normally established for ‘natural’ brands.

At the same conference James De Melloe urged farmers to take up contracts to grow the plant offered by his firm deDanu in Athlone. He said: “Ireland is a gateway to Europe, has globally competitive tax rates, research incentives and a highly educated workforce. “This country can compete at an international level and is uniquely positioned to capture a significant portion of the global marketplace.”

deDANÚ collaborates with herbalists and farmers who prioritise quality and care throughout harvest and production to ensure a superior quality product. Leah’s experience from working in the medical cannabis industry in Canada spurred her to establish a business at home in Ireland.

DeDanu, which produces Cannabidiol (CBD)-based products from hemp, is planning significant expansion over the next year.
