Trade Mission to Taiwan

Strengthening U.S. Industrial Hemp Abroad

NIHC is proud to collaborate with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) as an official cooperator for foreign market promotion programs, working with American agribusinesses to ensure that U.S. hemp has a strong, trusted presence in the global marketplace.

Guy Carpenter of Bear Fiber, Inc. and Trey Riddle of IND HEMP, represented NIHC in meetings with new business partners across the textile and consumer sectors. Highlights included when Trey Riddle shared the benefits of hemp oil for cosmetics, sparking interest among Taiwanese companies looking for sustainable, high-quality ingredients. 

NIHC’s delegation met with leading Taiwanese yarn spinners and textile companies, opening doors for future partnerships and showcasing how American hemp fiber can support innovation, sustainability, and reliability in global supply chains.

The delegation was also honored to receive a banner from our Taiwanese partners, symbolizing the importance of the U.S.–Taiwan trade relationship and the opportunities ahead for industrial hemp and other agricultural products.

Through collaboration, transparency, and science-based expertise, NIHC continues to position U.S. industrial hemp as a trusted material for the international marketplace.
