CBD varieties don’t perform to COAs, Georgia researchers say

The hemp industry needs a robust certification system that will give growers more confidence in their genetics purchases, according to a study from the University of Georgia’s Institute of Plant Breeding, Genetics and Genomics (IPBGG).

Genetics suppliers should also start using unique names for each of their hemp genetics products to help clarify options on the market, the researchers said in the report, “Genomic and Chemical Diversity of Commercially Available High-CBD Industrial Hemp Accessions.”

“Not only will this help clarify the market, it will also allow each company to capitalize on branding their own unique varieties,” doctoral graduate Matthew Johnson and Associate Professor Jason Wallace wrote in the report, which was published this month on Frontiers in Genetics.

Hemp Farmers Try To Grow Niche Crop Into $1-Billion Industry

Hemp Farmers Try To Grow Niche Crop Into $1-Billion Industry

Hemp farming is still a fledgling industry, but some proponents believe it has the potential to move from a niche crop to a staple of Canadian agriculture.

“How do we turn hemp into the next canola? How do we turn hemp into a 500,000 acre crop in the next 10 years?” says Andrew Potter, chief executive and president of Blue Sky Hemp Ventures.

“I believe it’s very, very doable.”

According to Health Canada, which licenses and regulates the industrial hemp industry in this country, there were about 22,000 hectares (50,000 acres) of hemp seeded in Canada in 2020, up from just 2,400 hectares (5,900 acres) in 1998. Alberta leads the way in hemp production, followed by Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

How growing 50 MILLION Acres of Hemp Can Change the World

Article by Robert Ziner – Founder & CEO, Canadian Industrial Hemp Corp. (CIHC), Toronto, which is developing an advanced hemp stalk processing and optimization system. Ziner has more than 30 years in the building materials distribution and secondary wood processing industries.

INTRODUCTION

The hemp industry offers great potential benefit to the global environment. However, only a technology-driven, cost-effective hemp industry will be able to redefine the economics of production to better serve the market. Besides the many, large, existing markets, many new opportunities will surface when costs are lowered, quality control is automated, and delivery is “guaranteed”.

CIHC believes that our commitment, along with our experience, vision, and IP, give us a unique role to play in achieving the global scale needed to fulfill hemp’s amazing environmental potential as well as delivering its valuable economic benefits.

HEMP DECORTICATOR NOW *IN OPERATION*

by Uncategorized

NEW HEMP DECORTICATOR IN OPERATION IN ALBERTA, CANADA

The BCG hemp decorticator is NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL and a variety of exciting new products are now available for sale. We will also sell bulk hemp hurd, so please contact us for more information/costs if you’re interested in a large-scale hurd purchase. 

Hemp is known for being one of the strongest natural fibres on earth. A hemp stalk is nearly impossible to break down with traditional farm equipment. Decorticating is the first step in hemp fibre processing. The machine used for decorticating is called a “decorticator”. The decorticating process for hemp removes the tough woody interior (the hurd), from the fibrous exterior of the stalk (the bast); it is necessary to create value added products from the entire hemp stalk.

Until now, there was no operational decortication facilities in Alberta. This was of great concern for the well established hemp fibre companies in Alberta and across Canada. The lack of decortication created a large bottle-neck in the industry and slowed any major advancements in the hemp fibre value chain.

This Decorticator will continue BCG’s goal of rural revitalization and escalate the growth of the “hemp fibre hub” in Drayton Valley, AB. The hemp fibre hub supports farmers growing hemp as a rotational crop, creates full-time local jobs and indirect opportunities, continued fibre hemp processing, manufacturing and new product creation.

BioComposites Group Inc. (BCG) is a world leader in the development of innovative natural fibre products to create an ever-expanding range of products, operates the largest hemp processor in North America.
