A proud history,
A dynamic future
Creating Sustainable Development Opportunities in the International Hemp Supply Chain
The National Industrial Hemp Council (NIHC) promotes an international regulatory system that boosts consumer confidence, international trade, and innovation in the industrial hemp supply chain. We actively consult with leaders in developed and developing countries, the international hemp industry, and domestic organizations on the potential for economic growth with a robust industrial hemp infrastructure. We create a pipeline that links hemp seed genetics to growers and research and manufacturing facilities in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, and other research and development hubs. The shared knowledge on hemp science and the regulations of international trade partners results in decreased risk and increased market share.
Our goal is to create a future society where sustained economic growth, innovation, and consumer demand for industrial hemp products lead to a harmonization of global regulatory governance.
Risk Management and Global Opportunities
Consumer Safety: With NIHC Verify, we set the standard for safe hemp derivatives, creating a transparent ecosystem where consumers can feel confident in the purity and efficacy of the hemp derivatives they purchase. Our framework also aids regulators in effectively overseeing hemp derivatives. This collaborative approach fosters an environment of accountability and encourages compliance by industry players to uphold responsible production methods. NIHC Verify bridges the gaps between consumer assurance and regulatory oversight. NIHC is reshaping the landscape of hemp derivatives and fostering economic development.
International Development: Funding from the United States Department of Agriculture Market Access Program (MAP) and regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP)allows NIHC to create opportunities for U. S. industrial hemp industry leaders to access global trade stakeholders. International trade missions facilitate learning raw material processing technology while also creating opportunities for trade partnerships and interactions with regulatory compliance officials.
Advocacy: We represent the hemp industry policy priorities to legislators and the policymaker community to enhance the business climate for industrial hemp. Key participants in the value chain of hemp for fiber, oil, seed, and edible hemp products as well as hemp research, and hemp crop cultivation are among our members who receive updates on current federal law changes that impact international and domestic growth opportunities.
