06.08 Justification

The growing market for industrial hemp opens up economic opportunities for developing countries. Because of its versatility and its functional characteristics, the industrial hemp market holds vast potential in agriculture, textiles, recycling, automotive, furniture, food and beverages, paper, construction materials and personal care. Hemp can grow in a wide variety of climates in most parts of the world, can be planted on land not suitable for other crops and helps to replenish the soil by removing heavy metals and other contaminants. It’s also beneficial when included in crop rotation. Since all parts of the plant – roots, flowers, fruit, stems and leaves – can be used, growing hemp will lead to much less waste and pollution than other crops, whose discarded parts can have a huge ecological footprint.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

As a startup hemp cultivator, I may face competition from established companies and emerging brands such as large scale hemp farms, vertically integrated farms and speciality farms that agroprocess. What makes HYDRO CBD CULTIVATORS stand out as we plan to make use of all biomass of hemp. The plant itself can be agroprocessed into many different types of products and the aim of HYDRO CBD CULTIVATORS is to do just that. Utilise all parts of the plant for not only cultivation, propagation but also biomass

11.05 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

Yes. Female cultivators are the future. We've opened conversations with local females that share an interest in hemp cultivation. This has allowed us to have our own database of candidates that'll receive kills development training from us in the comfort of our own farm with qualified facilitators. Food security and employment rates in my community are very much subjects that need to be attacked in a good and efficient manner
