India’s Hempcorp secures 10,000 acres to become world’s largest hemp plantation

In India, Hempcorp recently secured a 10,000 acre site set to become the world’s largest hemp plantation. This comes following the legalization of hemp cultivation within the state of Uttarakhand, India. 

The company will be managing operations in Uttarakhand and has plans for a variety-based product chain from hemp. The product chain will vary from health foods, cosmetics, textiles, FMCGs, pharmaceuticals, cannabis-infused ayurvedic medicines, eco-friendly construction materials, bioplastics, biofuel and more. Hemp-based paper, plastics and fuel will foster a more sustainable future.

The company has been engaging with government officials and liaisons regarding regulatory compliance. A recent industry development was made by the government in licensing cannabis cultivation, processing and refinement for the production of ayurvedic medicines containing CBD and THC content.
