Las Vegas, NV, Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), one of the global leaders on the forefront of the industrial hemp industry, reports today that Alaska’s “baby” hemp pilot program hits full throttle thanks to the federal government’s official green light (stamp of approval). The state has been operating its industrial hemp pilot program, procedurally, under federal law since April, 2019. With the recent stamp of approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Alaska can now expand and claim its stake in the multi-billion-dollar industry. The significance of this particular state in such a competitive industry?

Alaska is one of only a handful of states that “inspects products for quality and purity,” one news source noted. This is one of the first things consumers, who ingest hemp-based products, take into account. Now, entrepreneurs from Alaska, who make hemp products such as CBD oils, are now able to market nationwide. Alaskan farmers will be “able to diversify by growing a different crop that can be made into products that are increasingly in demand here and worldwide.”

The approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture went into effect on January 1, 2022. Alaska’s Industry Hemp Program (IHP) continues to remain compliant as required by the 2018 Farm Bill. Alaska’s Division of Agriculture is now updating its industrial hemp regulations for “alignment as a permanent program.” According to the press release issued by Alaska Commissioner Corri A. Feige, “the goal is diversification of Alaska’s economy with the addition of a new crop for its farmers. Industrial hemp is one crop where Alaska is not years behind the Lower 48 in development.” Alaska Gov. Dunleavy additionally expressed hope that “industrial hemp will become a viable cash crop for growers in Alaska.”

Already positioned as a “go-to” consultant in the industry, Hemp, Inc. can be great resource to Alaska farmers and manufacturers as they expand. With the industrial hemp market growing exponentially, resources and contacts are invaluable. The industrial hemp market is expected to reach 12.01 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2021 to 2028, per the most recent study by Grand View Research, Inc.
