About ECS Botanics
Manufacturer of organically grown GMP manufactured flower and advanced cannabinoid medicines
ECS Botanics (ASX: ECS) is a vertically integrated medicinal cannabis company cultivating organic, sun-grown cannabis in Victoria, Australia and manufacturing to EU-GMP standards for local and global markets.
ECS manufactures and supplies a range of pharmaceutical grade medicinal cannabis dosage formats designed to meet patient and practitioner needs through both direct to consumer brands and business to business white label products.
ECS Botanics is the only certified organic Australian cultivator, manufacturing medicinal cannabis to PIC/S GMP (EU-GMP equivalent) certification, which is more comprehensive than TGA GMP and internationally recognised.
By growing Cannabis naturally in soil under the sun using organic nutrients ECS Botanics has become a leading organic Australian Cannabis provider of high quality, terpene rich, affordable medicinal cannabis.
Why sun and soil?
Natural medicine
At ECS Botanics, our medicinal cannabis is grown the way nature intended — organically, in living soil under the Australian sun.
This is fundamentally different to conventional indoor cultivation, where plants are grown under artificial lighting, in inert substrates such as rockwool, and fed with synthetic chemical salts.
Our regenerative, organic farming model produces cannabis that is biologically richer, more resilient, and more expressive of its natural cannabinoid and terpene profile.
Sunlight delivers a full-spectrum light source that cannot be replicated by LEDs, supporting balanced plant development and complex phytochemical expression. Living soil provides a thriving ecosystem of beneficial microbes and minerals, enabling natural nutrient uptake and stronger plant immunity.
The result is clean, consistent, pharmaceutical-grade cannabis — grown with nature and manufactured to EU-GMP standards
Why PIC/s GMP?
GMP standards differ
PIC/S GMP refers to Good Manufacturing Practice standards set by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme. PIC/S is an international agreement between leading medicines regulators across Europe, the UK and other major pharmaceutical markets, designed to harmonise GMP standards globally and ensure medicines are manufactured to the highest and most consistent quality benchmarks.
For medicinal cannabis, PIC/S GMP is particularly important because it governs the entire post-harvest and manufacturing lifecycle, from drying and curing through to packaging and release for supply.
PIC/S GMP
- Requires GMP control from the moment the plant is harvested
- Includes drying, curing, trimming and storage under validated GMP conditions
- Treats cannabis flower as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) early in the process
TGA GMP
Applies GMP only for decontamination and packaging. No other manufacturing or processing steps are required to be undertaken under GMP certification.
This creates a regulatory gap where product quality may be influenced before GMP controls begin
Why this matters
- Cannabis is biologically active and highly sensitive to microbial growth, moisture, temperature and terpene loss. Drying and curing are among the most critical quality steps — controlling them under GMP significantly reduces variability and contamination risk.
- Essential for exporting medicinal cannabis into EU-regulated jurisdictions such as Germany
Our Offering
What makes
us different?
Location
Natural environment allows for outdoor or protected cropping:
Warm and sunny with low humidity
Plentiful fresh water from the Murray
Keeps cultivation costs to a minimum
Organic Cultivation
Producing the highest quality medicinal cannabis is our primary objective. To achieve this we opted for an organic approach and use biological fertilisers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and beneficial organisms to control pests and diseases.
Regenerative agriculture
We embrace technologies that regenerate and revitalise the soil and the environment such as conservation tillage, cover crops, and composting. Our focus is to increase productivity while simultaneously improving our soil.
Quality mindset
Our company works directly with Australian experts in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Agricultural and Collection Practice (GACP), and ODC regulations to ensure we are consistently meeting quality and compliance requirements.
