About Hemp and Derivatives

Hemp is a distinct variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant that is grown specifically for its derived products and applications. Hemp has gained considerable popularity because of its health and wellness effects on humans and pets, primarily due to its well-balanced nutritional value, alkalinity and the presence of cannabidiol, a compound known to promote and support overall health.

According to a recent article published by Forbes, hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) is projected to be a billion-dollar market in just three years, according to a new report by Brightfield Group. The data company estimates that hemp CBD sales have already hit $170 million in 2016 and a 55% compound annual growth rate over the next five years will cause the market to crack the billion-dollar mark.
