Las Vegas, NV – 
Idaho’s industrial hemp legalization gives its farmers an opportunity to diversify their operations, potentially creating more opportunities to do business with other companies in the industry. With Hemp, Inc.’s ten divisions, vast resources and invaluable industry contacts, executives believe Idaho’s farmers could particularly find the Company useful to their operations as they begin to grow. Not to mention, Hemp, Inc. is already positioned as a “go-to” consultant in the industry.
Idaho Farm Bureau’s deputy government affairs director, Braden Jensen, said the Bureau has been “pushing for the policy change for the better part of the past 20 years, but the 2018 Federal Farm Bill that removed hemp from the controlled substances list made the issue a priority in the 2021 legislative session.” Idaho now has two licensing options for its farmers (handlers and producers).
Licensed handlers are allowed to process raw hemp materials into other materials but they can’t grow the crop. Licensed producers can grow and market the hemp crop. Both licenses will require a background check on its owner that has to be renewed annually and producers will have their hemp lots tested for acceptable levels of THC (below 0.3%). If any sample of the lot tests higher than this threshold, the entire crop will either be destroyed or blended with a different strain to lower the THC amount.
The news source said the state had about 60 applications in November of 2021 and as of today, 8 have been fully granted (4 handlers, 3 producers, 1 handler/producer). For those granted licenses, the news could not have come at a better time.
The industrial hemp market is growing exponentially. A new report by Grand View Research, Inc. (October, 2021) noted the global industrial hemp market is expected to reach 12.01 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2021 to 2028. The report also mentioned population growth and the rising per capita disposable income. Coupled, both of these factors are expected to result in the increased demand for high-quality cosmetics, personal care products, protein supplements, and other health food products, and are expected to drive the market over the projected period.
