Overview of the Hemp industry
Hemp and marijuana are two different varieties of Cannabis sativa L., a flowering herb indigenous to many parts of the world. Hemp is different from marijuana in that it contains little, if any of the psychoactive ingredient, THC.
According to the Hemp Industries Association, retail sales of all hemp-based products in the Unites States is estimated at $500 million per year. Because commercial production of hemp was illegal in the U.S., American until the farm bill was signed into law by President Trump in December of 2018 companies are largely dependent on imports to purchase ingredients for use in further processing, and/or finished hemp-related products. The HIA and other industry experts anticipate now with changes in federal law permitting commercial farming in the U.S. to commence great opportunities are available to companies that are willing to move in this area quickly.
Industrial hemp was once a dominant crop in America, where it was refined for various industrial applications, including paper, textiles, and cordage. The first hemp plantings were in Jamestown, Virginia, where growing hemp was mandatory. From then on, hemp was used in everything from 19th century clipper ship sails, to the covers of pioneer wagons. The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper, and even the finest Bible paper today remains hemp-based. Over time, the use of industrial hemp has evolved into a wide variety of products, including health foods, organic body care, clothing, construction materials, biofuels, plastic composites and more (according to one source, more than 25,000 products can be made from hemp). One of the most valuable hemp products is cannabidiol (“CBD”), a medicinal compound found in hemp that shows great promise for treatment of epilepsy, cancer, pain relief, and many other health conditions. CBD oil is produced from bio-extraction of hemp and sold as a commodity in the global marketplace. CBD research is one of the fastest growing segments in the global pharmaceutical industry today.
Not only can hemp be used for an astonishing number of products, its net environmental benefit is impressive. Among the more salient features, hemp grows in a variety of climates and soil types, is naturally resistant to most pests, and grows very tightly spaced allowing it to outcompete most weeds. A natural substitute for cotton and wood fiber, hemp can also be pulped using fewer chemicals than wood because of its low lignin content. Its natural brightness can obviate the need to use chlorine bleach.
To maximize production of hemp fiber and/or seed, plants are encouraged to grow taller in height. Cultivated plants become a tall stalky crop that usually reaches between 6 and 15 feet, and generally consist of a single main stalk with few leaves and branches.
Hemp plants grown for fiber or oilseed are planted densely (about 35-50 plants per square foot) to discourage branching and flowering. The period of seeding to harvest ranges from 70 to 140 days, depending on the
purpose, cultivar or variety, and climatic conditions. The stalk and seed are the harvested product. The stalk of the plant provides two types of fibers: the outer portion of the stem contains the “bast” fibers (fibrous material from the phloem of a plant, used as fiber in matting, cord, etc), and the interior or core fiber (or “hurds”). (Definition of hurds. : the coarse parts of flax or hemp that adhere to the fiber after it is separated. — called also hards.)
Industrial hemp production statistics for Canada indicate that one acre of hemp yields an average of about 700 pounds of grain, which can be pressed into about 50 gallons of oil and 530 pounds of meal. That same acre will also produce an average of 5,300 pounds of straw, which can be transformed into about 1,300 pounds of fiber.
Currently, there is strong demand for hemp seeds in the U.S. for planting hemp research farms. Dozens of American companies are pursuing the production of seeds harvested from pilot farms under research permits with the goal of developing new optimal strains in anticipation of legislative changes allowing commercial farming in the U.S.
Recent trends have created an explosion of investor interest in hemp-focused companies;
- Passage of the 2014 Agricultural Act (the “Farm Bill”) removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, allowing it to be legally grown for research purposes.
- Now with the December 2018 farm bill signed and the Law, legalize commercial hemp farming is here, transforming an untapped sector of US agriculture, and spawning thousands of new businesses.
- Big Pharma and other companies are investing millions in R&D to develop new drugs and therapies using cannabidiol (“CBD”), a medicinal compound found in hemp that shows great promise for treatment of epilepsy, cancer, pain relief, and many other health conditions. CBD research is one of the fastest growing segments in the global pharmaceutical industry today.
Hemp Group Holdings, Inc. has been formed to exploit these converging trends by making strategic investments in industrial hemp research and hemp-derived products. The Company’s philosophy is founded on the premise that hemp is one of the most useful natural resources on the planet and should be utilized to its fullest potential. The Company’s mission to create and own intellectual property, and to participate in niche opportunities such as hemp textiles, building materials, consumable goods, nutritional supplements and medicinal compounds to drive shareholder value.
