Pohiritia ra nga Iwi. Haere mai.
Welcome to Rua Bioscience.

Tera te haeata takiri ana mai ki runga o Hikurangi.

On the Eastern Cape of New Zealand, in one of the very first places in the world to see the dawn each day, is Ruatorea.

From our home, sheltered by Hikurangi and flanked by the Pacific Ocean, Rua’s goal is to develop and supply GMP-certified medicines, while creating sustainable opportunities for the people of Te Tairāwhiti for generations to come.

Rua supplies GMP-certified medicines in a growing number of markets. Our global aspirations are underpinned by international supply and distribution agreements in high-value European markets and an Australian cultivation partnership that provides us with GMP-certified products and production capacity at a global scale.

Rua operates a plant discovery and breeding programme from our purpose-built research and cultivation centre in Ruatorea. Our facility forms an incubator of medicinal cannabis innovation, furthering Rua’s aspiration to develop superior and unique strains here in Te Tairāwhiti that will be grown at scale for global medicinal cannabis markets in the future.

Ko te pae tata kia waihangatia he rongoā hei whakapiki hauora mo nga tāngata katoa, ko te pae tawhiti, kia whakareia ake i te oranga o Te Tairāwhiti whānui.

Our vision is simple, to create cannabis-derived medicines that change people’s lives; from right here in Te Tairāwhiti.
