ABOUT THE HEMP INDUSTRY SECTOR
Hemp is a crop that can be grown for food and non-food purposes. As a result of
its numerous nutritional benefits, many new food products containing hemp seed
and its oil are finding their way into the marketplace, including protein mixes,
pasta, tortilla chips, salad dressings, snack products and frozen desserts.
Non-dairy hemp "milk" beverages, which provide significant amounts of omega 3
essential fatty acids (EFAs) and protein, are also available. Hemp oil is also
used in nutraceuticals and health care products as well as industrial
applications.
As an industrial fiber source, hemp is undergoing rapid growth as a natural
fiber in everything from clothing and textiles to automotive composites. The
fiber is also gaining popularity as a building material such as insulation.
The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) estimated that the 2013 retail sales value
of hemp food and body care products in the United States was $184 million. When
clothing, paper, auto parts, building materials and various other products are
included, the HIA estimates that the total retail value of hemp products sold in
the US in 2013 to be at least $581 million and included more than 50,000
products.
