Environmental Challenges

  • Confusion about the botanical characteristics and chemotype of the plant, leading to a negative connotation and hindering its full economic potential.
  • Narrow set of hemp products covered by international trade statistics, leading to underestimation of the global market size.
  • Scarce and scattered information about prices of hemp products.

  • Precise understanding of production constraints imposed by regulatory frameworks in destination markets.
  • Regional cooperation to facilitate the establishment of production chains.
  • Improving availability and accessibility of information on hemp production and trade.
  • Including a more representative set of hemp-related products in international product classifications.
