State of the U.S. Hemp Industry Industrial hemp is once again becoming part of the American agricultural and manufacturing landscape. Although the modern industry is still young, hemp has a long history in the United States. It was grown in the Colonial era for rope, sailcloth, canvas, and clothing, and it supported shipping, farming, and trade. Production declined during the 20th century as regulations changed and other materials took over. The 2014 Farm Bill marked the beginning of hemp’s modern return to American agriculture. Congress authorized state departments of agriculture and universities to establish research pilot programs and grow hemp in states where it was legal. Although the law did not yet create a fully commercial industry, it enabled field trials, variety research, and early market development that laid the foundation for broader federal legalization in 2018, which established a national framework for commercial production. Today, industrial hemp can be grown in all 50 states and developed for fiber, grain, seed, food, building materials, animal feed, biocomposites, and other industrial uses. The USDA reported that the value of U.S. hemp production reached $739 million in 2025, up approximately 66% from 2024. Open-field planted acreage increased to 49,267 acres, and harvested acreage reached 43,707 acres. Fiber remained the largest use by harvested acreage, while grain and seed production recorded especially strong growth. U.S. industrial hemp exports are still difficult to measure because many hemp products are included within broader customs categories. Using U.S. Census Bureau data, U.S. exports of hemp fiber totaled approximately $2.46 million in 2024 and rose to $6.30 million in 2025. Looking at a broader “clean basket” (a defined group of trade categories) of identifiable hemp fiber, yarn, and seed, exports increased from approximately $3.26 million in 2024 to $8.19 million in 2025, an increase of about 151%. These figures are based on U.S. Census Bureau U.S. International Trade Data hemp-specific codes for fiber, yarn, and seed. They do not include most hemp foods, oils, textiles, building products, biocomposites, or finished consumer goods, meaning the full value of U.S. industrial hemp trade is significantly broader than available hempspecific data suggest. The numbers tell a positive story: U.S. industrial hemp is gaining momentum and beginning to establish a stronger place in agriculture and manufacturing. That growth is being supported by expanding research, new processing investments, and greater interest from manufacturers seeking natural fibers, bio-based materials, and domestically sourced ingredients. The industry is also becoming more connected. Growers, processors, researchers, brands, and policymakers are working together to better align production with the requirements of finished

“State of the U.S. Hemp Industry,” continued markets. NIHC plays an important role in building these connections through conferences and committees that bring stakeholders together. NIHC is also helping position American hemp in global markets. As an official cooperator with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, NIHC promotes U.S. hemp through trade missions, international conferences, technical education, and direct engagement with buyers and government partners. In 2025, NIHC represented the industry in 10 countries across five continents. During a USDA trade mission to Guatemala, NIHC helped secure the first confirmed export of U.S. hemp fiber to a Central American textile manufacturer. Federal policy continues to evolve, particularly around how industrial hemp is distinguished from cannabinoid products. NIHC’s Fit-for-Purpose framework supports a regulatory approach that recognizes the differences among fiber, grain, seed, feed, and cannabinoid markets. Clearer, science-based policy can reduce unnecessary burdens on industrial producers while giving farmers, manufacturers, and investors greater confidence. The opportunity ahead is significant. The United States brings strong agricultural research, trusted food-safety systems, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and an expanding network of international relationships. With continued investment in genetics, processing, standards, and market development, U.S. industrial hemp can supply more of the natural fibers, nutritious ingredients, and innovative materials demanded at home and abroad.

Industry in Motion HOW AMERICAN HEMP COMPANIES ARE BUILDING MARKETS AT HOME AND AROUND THE WORLD For much of the past decade, the U.S. industrial hemp industry has been defined by what it could become. New acres were planted, processing facilities were built, entrepreneurs launched businesses, and researchers advanced new technologies while the industry worked to establish sustainable commercial markets. Recently, that conversation has begun to change. Across the country, companies are investing in processing, introducing new technologies, expanding manufacturing, and building commercial partnerships that are creating real opportunities for American-grown hemp. From textiles and construction materials to food ingredients, biomaterials, and international trade, progress is taking place across nearly every segment of the value chain. More importantly, that progress is not being driven by one company or one breakthrough. It is the result of businesses solving different challenges while collectively building stronger markets for industrial hemp.

REBUILDING TEXTILE SUPPLY CHAINS Perhaps nowhere is that momentum more visible than in textiles. American companies are rebuilding domestic supply chains while establishing commercial relationships with manufacturers around the world. Panda Biotech in Wichita Falls, Texas, has shown what large-scale American fiber production can look like through its Texas processing facility, the largest industrial hemp decortication plant in the Western Hemisphere. Its partnership with India’s Culturewell Hemp helped establish India’s first integrated hemp fiber-to-yarn supply chain utilizing certified American-grown hemp fiber. This partnership has helped to open new opportunities in one of the world’s largest textile manufacturing economies while showcasing the capabilities of U.S. fiber production. Heartland Industries in Detroit, Michigan, has expanded its international textile footprint through commercial partnerships in India and Europe. Through its Imperium Fibre™ platform, the company supplies traceable American hemp fiber, yarns, and fabrics while working directly with textile mills and manufacturers seeking reliable alternatives for global apparel supply chains. Its participation at Bharat Tex, one of the world’s premier textile exhibitions, reflects growing interest in U.S. hemp fiber among international manufacturers.

2026-2027 NIHC INDUSTRIAL HEMP ANNUAL MARKET GUIDE

“Industry in Motion,” continued IND HEMP in Fort Benton, Montana, has expanded domestic processing while developing relationships within international textile manufacturing, including opportunities in Vietnam. Those efforts reflect growing confidence in the quality, consistency, and traceability of American-grown hemp fiber while helping position the United States as a reliable supplier to global textile markets. Collaboration has become one of the industry’s greatest strengths. Bear Fiber of Morganton, North Carolina, has worked alongside companies, including IND HEMP and Panda Biotech, while helping connect U.S. fiber with mills, manufacturers, brands, universities, and research partners across North America, Europe, and Asia. Rather than operating in isolation, these companies are helping rebuild a complete textile value chain, from fiber production and processing to spinning, fabric development, and finished products.

INNOVATION IS DRIVING THE INDUSTRY FORWARD Innovation is reshaping hemp production as well. Pure Fiber Innovations, founded by Lawrence Serbin of Hemp Traders in Los Angeles, California, and farmer Steve Groff, CEO of Cedar Meadow Farm in Holtwood, Pennsylvania, is developing the Fiber King™ Green Decorticator, a patent-pending mobile processing system designed to harvest, decorticate, and separate hemp fiber and hurd in a single pass. By reducing transportation costs, eliminating traditional retting, and improving processing efficiency, this technology has the potential to improve the economics of fiber production while making commercial processing more accessible to growers. Investment in manufacturing is strengthening domestic supply chains. Dakota Hemp in Wakonda, South Dakota, Complete Hemp Processing in Winfred, South Dakota, and HempAgra in Rock Valley, Iowa, along with other industry partners, are collaborating through the Renewabuild initiative to establish a regional hemp block manufacturing ecosystem. By connecting growers, processors, manufacturers, and builders, the project demonstrates how collaboration across the supply chain can accelerate commercialization while creating new markets for American-grown hemp. Innovation extends well beyond fiber processing. HempWood in Murray, Kentucky, continues to expand the market for engineered hardwood products manufactured from hemp, providing renewable alternatives for flooring, cabinetry, furniture, and architectural applications. Hempitecture in Jerome, Idaho, is advancing hemp-based insulation and natural fiber building materials that support healthier, lower-carbon construction. The Hemp Plastic Company in Boulder, Colorado, is developing hemp biocomposites that provide manufacturers with renewable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics across a growing range of consumer and industrial applications.

“Industry in Motion,” continued Food and grain markets are advancing as well. Companies such as Victory Hemp Foods in Carrollton, Kentucky, and Healthy Oilseeds in Carrington, N.D., are creating new opportunities through protein ingredients, healthy oils, functional foods, and value-added nutritional products. Their work reinforces one of industrial hemp’s greatest strengths: It is not a single market, but a collection of interconnected industries spanning agriculture, food, textiles, construction, manufacturing, and advanced materials.

BUILDING MARKETS BEYOND U.S. BORDERS International collaboration extends well beyond traditional export markets. 1937 International in New York, New York, continues developing manufacturing relationships within Pakistan’s textile sector, helping strengthen commercial ties between U.S. companies and one of the world’s largest apparel-producing regions. In South America, Davis Hemp Farms in Bend, Oregon, and Ananda Pampa in Buenos Aires are taking a long-term approach to industry development through seed multiplication, agronomic research, and fiber production initiatives. Argentina is one of the world’s leading seed multiplication countries, supplying high-quality planting seed for major agricultural crops grown across multiple continents. That expertise creates a unique opportunity for industrial hemp. Through their collaboration, Davis Hemp Farms and Ananda Pampa are laying the groundwork for certified hempseed production capable of supporting expanding fiber and grain markets in the United States while supplying producers throughout South America and other emerging hemp markets. As one of America’s most important agricultural trading partners, Argentina has the potential to become a cornerstone of the international hempseed supply chain. Supporting much of this progress are organizations dedicated to expanding markets and strengthening global collaboration. The National Industrial Hemp Council (NIHC), a USDA international market development cooperator, continues connecting U.S. companies with international partners through trade missions, business development, and strategic engagement. As a founding member of both the Federation of International Hemp Organizations (FIHO) and the Asia International Hemp Federation (AIHF), NIHC works alongside government agencies, trade associations, researchers, manufacturers, and private companies to strengthen relationships across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Those relationships matter because industries grow stronger when knowledge, technology, investment, and markets move across borders together.

“Industry in Motion,” continued

AN INDUSTRY MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER No single company can build an industry alone. Farmers need processors. Processors need manufacturers. Manufacturers need customers. Markets require investment, infrastructure, research, and collaboration. The progress taking place today reflects that reality. Success is no longer measured by individual announcements, but by the growing strength of the entire value chain. The U.S. industrial hemp industry is still in its early stages, but the recent progress shows an industry steadily finding its footing. New markets are opening. Processing capacity is expanding. International partnerships are growing. Investment is accelerating, and innovation is creating opportunities across multiple sectors.

Perhaps the greatest success story isn’t any one company. It is the emergence of a complete industrial ecosystem. Farmers, processors, manufacturers, equipment developers, researchers, universities, builders, food companies, trade organizations, investors, and international partners are working together in ways that simply did not exist a few years ago.

Indigenous Leadership BUILDING THE NEXT CHAPTER OF AMERICA’S HEMP ECONOMY As the U.S. industrial hemp industry continues to mature, one of its greatest long-term opportunities lies within Tribal Nations. Across the country, Indigenous communities are demonstrating how hemp can support economic development, regenerative agriculture, workforce creation, food systems, construction materials, and sustainable manufacturing while remaining deeply connected to cultural values and responsible land stewardship. Unlike many emerging industries driven by short-term market cycles, Indigenous hemp initiatives are often built with a multi-generational perspective. Success is measured not only by financial return, but by strengthening local economies, restoring healthy ecosystems, creating meaningful employment, and preserving sovereignty for future generations. That long-term approach aligns naturally with the broader vision of a resilient American hemp industry. Organizations such as the Indigenous Hemp Cooperative are helping build a collaborative framework for Tribal participation through seed development, farmer education, cultivation standards, value-added processing, appropriate technologies, and fair-market opportunities. Their work recognizes that Tribal Nations should not simply participate in the hemp economy, but help shape its direction. At the same time, Prairie Band Ag, an enterprise of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, demonstrates what this vision looks like in practice. Through investments in industrial hemp cultivation and processing, the organization is creating jobs, producing high-quality fiber, advancing regenerative agricultural systems, and expanding economic opportunity while honoring a long-standing commitment to caring for the land. The importance of Indigenous leadership extends well beyond the United States. Indigenous communities around the world possess generations of agricultural knowledge, environmental stewardship, and land management experience that can help strengthen the global bioeconomy. As international hemp markets continue to develop, partnerships among Tribal Nations, governments, researchers, and industry leaders will become increasingly important to building resilient supply chains and accelerating innovation. NIHC believes collaboration across every segment of the industry is essential for long-term success. Indigenous communities are not simply participants in hemp’s future. They are positioned to become some of its most influential leaders, helping shape an industry that delivers lasting economic, environmental, and social value across generations.

Building Materials Hemp is attracting growing interest as a source of building and insulation materials, and the regulatory foundation for wider use is beginning to take shape. The woody inner portion of the stalk, known as hurd or shiv, can be combined with a lime-based binder and water to create hemp-lime, often called hempcrete. Hemp fiber can also be used in insulation, wall panels, acoustic products, fiberboard, and reinforced composites. A major milestone came with the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), which established hemp-lime as Appendix BL, its own prescriptive residential building appendix. According to the U.S. Hemp Building Association (USHBA), the IRC forms the basis of residential building codes in 48 states, meaning the conversation has shifted from whether hemp-lime is a legitimate building material to where and how it can be adopted and used. Hemp-lime is generally used as a nonbearing wall infill around a structural frame rather than as a replacement for structural concrete. Appendix BL provides a prescriptive pathway for hemplime walls in buildings up to two stories in areas of low seismic risk, while projects outside that scope can still move forward through engineered design. In jurisdictions that have not yet adopted the appendix, builders can typically seek approval through alternative-material provisions with the support of a structural engineer. Hemp-lime buildings have already been permitted in many states, including California, Oregon, Texas, and South Carolina. The next phase of growth will depend on turning that code recognition into broader adoption. USHBA points to state and local code adoption, greater familiarity among appraisers and lenders, and development of a trained installation workforce as key areas of focus. Progress is already underway. Austin, Texas, became the first jurisdiction to adopt Appendix BL in 2025, and Minnesota has approved it for its next residential code. Other states are considering similar steps. Fire-performance testing is also strengthening the case for broader use. Three hemp-lime wall assemblies with different framing configurations passed one-hour ASTM E119 fireresistance tests, including the hose-stream test. In October 2025, a residential committee of the International Code Council (ICC) unanimously voted to advance those rated assemblies for inclusion in Appendix BL of the 2027 IRC. If completed, that process could give building officials standardized assemblies they can rely on rather than requiring costly project-by-project testing. The opportunity extends beyond hemp-lime. Hemp can be used across multiple parts of a building system. Cast-in-place hemp-lime can fill walls around a structural frame, while precast blocks and panels can simplify installation. Bast fiber can be manufactured into insulation batts and loose-fill insulation, and shorter fibers and hurd can be used in boards, molded products, and composites. 2026-2027 NIHC INDUSTRIAL HEMP ANNUAL MARKET GUIDE

“Building Materials,” continued That versatility creates an important economic opportunity for the hemp industry because building products can use multiple parts of the stalk. The outer bast fiber may go to insulation, textiles, or composites, while the inner hurd can be used in walls, blocks, panels, or other products. A more developed building materials market could therefore create stronger demand for both fractions of the plant and improve the economics of processing. The strongest opportunity may come from industry coordination. Expanding the market will require hemp producers, processors, builders, architects, engineers, code officials, researchers, lenders, and insurers to work together to move proven materials into wider commercial use. That includes supporting state and local adoption of Appendix BL, continuing testing and standards work, developing consistent product specifications, training contractors and installers, and building greater confidence among the financial and insurance sectors. For the hemp industry, building materials offer more than a niche market. Wider adoption could create dependable demand for domestic fiber and hurd, support new manufacturing capacity, and give farmers additional outlets for the crop. With the code framework now beginning to fall into place, the opportunity is to build the infrastructure, expertise, and market confidence needed to move hemp-based construction from individual projects into a more established part of the U.S. building industry.

Textiles and Fiber Hemp fiber has been used for centuries, but its modern potential reaches far beyond rope and canvas. Today, hemp is being explored for apparel, denim, upholstery, home textiles, nonwovens, paper, automotive panels, and technical composites. It offers durable natural fiber and an opportunity to create more traceable, domestically sourced material supply chains. The strongest fiber comes from the outer portion of the stalk, known as bast fiber. After harvest, the stalk must be retted, a process that helps separate the fiber from the woody core. The stalk is then decorticated and cleaned. Depending on the market, the fiber may be kept relatively long for linen-style spinning or shortened through cottonization so it can be blended with cotton, wool, or manufactured fibers. Fiber quality begins in the field. Genetics, planting density, weather, harvest timing, and retting all influence length, strength, fineness, color, and cleanliness. A high-yielding crop does not automatically produce the type of fiber a mill needs. For that reason, the most successful projects start with the requirements of the finished product and work backward to the right variety and production system. The United States has growers, processors, universities, and brands interested in hemp fiber. The largest challenge is building the middle of the supply chain. More harvesting equipment, decortication, cleaning, cottonization, fiber grading, and spinning capacity are needed to connect farms with manufacturers. These gaps are also opportunities for investment and regional economic development. Several markets may help the sector grow. Blended yarns and denim can introduce hemp into existing apparel systems. Nonwovens can use shorter fiber in insulation, filtration, and industrial products. Automotive and construction composites can use hemp as a lightweight reinforcement. Paper, packaging, and molded fiber products may create outlets for additional grades of material. Standards will help buyers and sellers describe hemp fiber more consistently. ASTM International is developing methods for measuring fiber and hurd characteristics, which can reduce uncertainty and support larger commercial orders. As these systems mature, U.S. hemp fiber can compete on quality, performance, and reliable domestic sourcing.

Nutrition and Food Hemp grain is one of the most established and accessible uses of industrial hemp. After cleaning and processing, it can be sold as whole seed, hemp hearts, cold-pressed oil, protein powder, flour, and fiber-rich meal. These ingredients can be used in cereals, baked goods, nutrition bars, beverages, snacks, dressings, spreads, and plant-based foods. Hemp seed is valued for its plant protein and beneficial fatty acid profile, including omega-6 and omega-3 fats. It also contains minerals and other nutrients. Hemp hearts and oil have a mild, nutty flavor that works well in both sweet and savory products, making them easy to include in familiar foods. U.S. grain production is growing. USDA reported 7.26 million pounds of open-field hemp grain production in 2025, an increase of 112% from the previous year. The value of that production reached $8.09 million. While the market remains small compared with major oilseeds and plant proteins, the growth shows increasing interest among farmers, processors, and food companies. Grain hemp can fit relatively well into existing agricultural systems. It can be grown with modified conventional equipment, stored as a commodity, and processed into several products. The oil can be sold for food use, while the remaining meal can be made into protein ingredients or, when approved for the intended use, animal feed. The FDA has completed reviews allowing certain hulled hemp seed, hempseed protein powder, and hempseed oil ingredients to be used in human food under specified conditions. This gives food companies a clearer foundation for product development. The opportunity for U.S. hemp food ingredients is both domestic and international. Consumers are looking for plant-based protein, healthy fats, and transparent sourcing. Americangrown hemp can meet those interests while creating another market for farmers and food manufacturers.

Animal Feed Animal feed represents one of the most promising growth opportunities for U.S. hemp grain and its processing co-products. A major step forward came in 2024, when the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) approved hempseed meal for use in laying-hen diets, followed by its publication in the AAFCO Official Publication in 2025, demonstrating that hempderived feed ingredients can successfully move through the scientific and regulatory review process and into commercial use. Hempseed meal is the protein- and fiber-rich material that remains after most of the oil has been mechanically removed from hemp seed. Its approval for use in laying-hen diets created a new outlet for hemp processors while showing what can be achieved when industry, researchers, and regulators work together to develop the data needed for feed approval. The larger opportunity is significant. According to The Hemp Feed Coalition, U.S. farmers harvested just 7,515 acres of hemp grain in 2025, even after acreage increased 55% from the previous year. The Coalition believes animal feed could become a major new buyer for hemp grain as additional uses and species receive approval. The potential scale illustrates why this market deserves industry attention. The Hemp Feed Coalition estimates that supplying companion-animal feed at just 10% market adoption could require between 677,000 and 710,000 acres of hemp and generate between $425 million and $446 million in farm-gate value. Those estimates are based on published feeding trials, USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) acreage data, and grain and stalk pricing verified through multiple buyers. Reaching that potential will require coordinated work across the hemp industry, government agencies, universities, feed manufacturers, livestock and companion-animal industries, veterinarians, and researchers. By working together to develop the necessary feeding studies, safety data, ingredient definitions, and regulatory approvals, the industry can build the scientific foundation needed to expand hemp into additional animal-feed markets. Companion animals and other animals, which do not enter the human food supply, may offer a particularly important opportunity. The Hemp Feed Coalition has identified federal approval for hemp seed and its derivatives in these markets as a pathway that could substantially expand demand for U.S. hemp grain. Growth in animal feed could also strengthen the economics of the entire hemp crop. Hempseed meal creates value from the material remaining after oil extraction, allowing processors to capture more value from each bushel of grain. At the same time, dual-purpose hemp production can generate both grain and fiber from the same acreage.

2026-2027 NIHC INDUSTRIAL HEMP ANNUAL MARKET GUIDE

“Animal Feed,” continued According to the Hemp Feed Coalition, meeting 10% of adoption in the companion-animal feed market would require an estimated 677,000 to 710,000 acres of hemp. If grown as a dualpurpose crop, those acres could also produce roughly 680,000 to 1.07 million tons of stalk as a co-product for fiber markets. That connection creates an opportunity for the grain and fiber sectors to grow together. Greater demand for hemp grain could give farmers stronger economic incentives to plant the crop, while the resulting stalk could provide additional feedstock for textiles, building materials, biocomposites, and other industrial applications. The laying-hen approval provides a model for what can come next. With a coordinated effort to support research, engage regulators, and work directly with the animal feed industries that could ultimately use these ingredients, hemp has the potential to become a meaningful part of the U.S. feed market. Success would create new demand for American farmers, add value for processors, and help build the scale needed across the broader industrial hemp supply chain.

Instead, short fibers, hurd, or cellulose are blended with petroleum-based or bio-based polymers to create reinforced materials for automotive parts, consumer goods, furniture, packaging, and building products. Natural-fiber composites are the most immediate commercial opportunity. Hemp fiber can add stiffness while reducing weight, which is valuable in transportation and molded products. It can also provide renewable content and create a market for shorter fibers that may not be suitable for textiles. Nonwoven hemp mats can be combined with polymers and molded into panels using processes like those already used with flax, kenaf, and other natural fibers. The performance of a hemp composite depends on careful engineering. Plant fibers absorb moisture, while many polymers do not. The bond between the fiber and the polymer must be managed through fiber preparation, surface treatments, coupling agents, and controlled processing. Fiber length, cleanliness, moisture, and dispersion can affect strength, appearance, and durability. The strongest market opportunities may come from blends used in high-volume manufacturing. A modest percentage of hemp fiber in an automotive panel, molded component, or building product can create significant demand when used across a large product line. These applications can also use grades of fiber that do not meet the requirements of apparel or other premium uses. University and private-sector researchers are exploring new polymer blends, cellulose extraction, additive manufacturing, and life-cycle performance. ASTM work on fiber, hurd, and processing pathways can help establish common specifications. As the technical base grows, hemp can become a useful material in a broader range of lightweight, durable, and partially renewable products.

Research and Hemp Genetics Research is helping transform hemp from a newly reintroduced crop into a more dependable American commodity. Universities, USDA scientists, and private companies are studying the crop from seed to finished product. Their work is improving genetics, production practices, processing methods, and the performance of hemp-based materials. A major focus is regional adaptation. Hemp is sensitive to day length, so a variety that performs well in one part of the country may flower too early or too late in another. Multi-location trials help growers understand which varieties are best suited to their climate, soil, and intended market. There is no single ideal hemp plant. Fiber varieties may need tall, slender stems, long internodes, and fine bast fiber. Grain varieties need strong seed retention, uniform maturity, and desirable oil and protein characteristics. Building material crops may prioritize biomass and hurd quality. Dual-purpose varieties must balance more than one end use. USDA’s hemp germplasm collection gives breeders access to diverse genetics that can be evaluated and used to improve yield, quality, disease resistance, and low-THC stability. Researchers are also developing genomic tools and DNA markers that can help identify useful traits more efficiently. For farmers, seed quality is one of the most important factors in the season. Poor germination, unstable genetics, unexpected sex ratios, or excessive THC can create serious financial risk. Clear variety descriptions, seed testing, regional trial data, and certified seed systems can help growers make better decisions. Research extends well beyond plant breeding. Universities are studying diseases, insects, fertility, planting density, harvest timing, retting, decortication, food ingredients, animal feed, textiles, building materials, and biocomposites. Programs at Cornell University, Oregon State University, UC Davis, Virginia State University, Virginia Tech, and other institutions are contributing to the national knowledge base. The greatest progress will come when researchers, farmers, processors, and manufacturers work together. A variety should not be judged only by how well it grows. It should also be evaluated by how well its fiber, grain, or hurd performs in the market it is intended to serve. Better genetics and coordinated research can make U.S. hemp more predictable, productive, and competitive.

NIHC Verify leads the way in Hemp Safety Why NIHC Verify? As a member of the National Industrial Hemp Council of America (NIHC), you can be part of a movement setting the gold standard in hemp testing. With NIHC Verify, our exclusive accreditation program developed in partnership with A2LA, we’re raising the bar for safety and compliance in the hemp industry. Based on requirements from ISO/IEC 17025, a global standard for testing and calibration laboratories, NIHC Verify was developed to establish a benchmark for hemp testing laboratories accredited to conduct rigorous testing for pesticides, heavy metals, potency, microbiology, and residual solvents.

• Access globally recognized testing standards through scientifically verified facilities

• Stay ahead of regulatory

requirements and minimize risks

• Show consumers your commitment to health and safety

Join NIHC Verify to advance hemp safety!

Compliance, NIHC Verify and ASTM Standards Strong markets depend on trust. Farmers, processors, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers need confidence that hemp products have been properly tested and meet clear quality expectations. Compliance programs and voluntary standards help create confidence across every part of the industry. NIHC Verify is an important part of this work. The program is operated in partnership with the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). It recognizes participating laboratories that hold A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 and meet additional hemp-specific requirements. ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard used to evaluate the competence of testing laboratories. Accreditation reviews personnel, equipment, methods, calibration, quality controls, traceability, and the laboratory’s ability to produce valid results. Under the NIHC Verify program, participating laboratories must be accredited to test, at minimum, for pesticides, heavy metals, cannabinoid potency, microbiology, and residual solvents. Reliable testing begins before a sample reaches the instrument. Hemp is an agricultural material, and results can be affected by how a sample is collected, handled, and prepared. Representative sampling, chain of custody, validated methods, reference materials, and proficiency testing all contribute to dependable results. ASTM International also helps to build the technical foundation for the industry. Committee D37 develops voluntary consensus-based standards for cannabis and hemp, while Subcommittee D37.07 focuses on industrial hemp. Published standards address hempseed sampling, food safety, spoilage, storage, and hemp straw intended for decortication. Additional work is underway on fiber characterization, hurd testing, processing pathways, and hemp-based construction materials. ASTM standards’ value comes when regulators, contracts, codes, laboratories, and buyers use them to define accepted methods or product requirements. They provide a common language that can reduce disputes, support trade, and make it easier to compare materials. Compliance is more than a certificate of analysis. It includes qualified suppliers, written specifications, representative sampling, traceability, document control, and corrective action. As U.S. hemp markets grow, trusted testing and practical standards will help American products compete on quality, consistency, and credibility.
