Industrial Hemp - A Golden Opportunity for California Business

By California Senator Mark Leno

If you like shopping at your local natural foods or specialty grocery store, you’ve probably noticed the growing popularity of hemp as an ingredient in food and skin care products. Hemp seed, which is high in protein and essential fatty acids, is found in everything from bread, energy bars and waffles to coffee and protein powder. Thanks to its natural antioxidants and moisturizing oil, hemp is also a common ingredient in soaps, shampoos and lotions. Perhaps your favorite T-shirt is even made of hemp, which is an excellent alternative to cotton.

Even though most of these consumer products are created by California companies, our farmers are prohibited from growing industrial hemp. Instead of buying hemp from local farmers, local manufacturers are importing thousands of dollars of hemp seed, oil and fiber from growers overseas.

California farmers are missing out on a golden opportunity to tap into the growing industrial hemp products business of food, clothing, shelter, paper and fuel, which would greatly benefit our state’s economy and family farmers. Industrial hemp is a perfect, environmentally sustainable crop for our state. It requires little or no pesticides and herbicides and produces two to four times more fiber than an acre of timber. Hemp grows quickly, can be harvested every 90 days and is a great rotational crop, especially for organic farmers.

Earlier this year I introduced Senate Bill 676, which allows the agricultural production of industrial hemp in California. The bill establishes a five-county pilot project, giving California the ability to build a successful hemp industry in the Central Valley. The counties involved in the pilot project include Imperial, Kern, Kings, San Joaquin and Yolo. SB 676 is sponsored by the Hemp Industries Association and Vote Hemp. It is also supported by individual farmers, the California State Grange, California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and businesses from both California and other states.

Unlike marijuana, hemp has no psychoactive qualities due to its low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Regardless, SB 676 has been carefully crafted to address law enforcement concerns. Farmers that choose to grow industrial hemp must meet minimum acreage requirements and certify that the crop meets established, low-level THC content levels. All hemp growing operations must be for agricultural or research purposes only – no clandestine or backyard cultivation of hemp would be allowed.
