Today Canada's hemp sector is growing to provide secure supplies of hemp seed and fiber raw materials for domestic and international markets, as well as many processed and conditioned value-added products.  Canada's federal hemp regulations help to create quality, safety and accountability.  A supportive scientific research community ensures that essential and necessary research continues - critcal for any new crop. _______________________ Click logo for link to HIA website Hemp Industries Association The Hemp Industries Association is an industry trade association dedicated to the support and promotion of Industrial Hemp.  The HIA's select membership includes the world's leading Hemp businesses.
