Chinese province Jilin enters global hemp market

Attention is drawn to the approach of Chinese officials who, in an administrative-territorial unit that did not specialize in the cultivation or processing of hempless hemp, created an appropriate regulatory framework, connected to the implementation of joint projects one of the most famous European cannabis companies and equipped a center that will coordinate the cannabis activity of the entire region.

The pages of the specialized electronic edition of Ukrainian cannibalists focused our readers' attention on the "Laid out on the development of Chinese horse breeding". In particular, it was pointed out that in the Celestial Empire it was decided to increase the area of ​​crops for the cultivation of low-narcotic hemp to more than 650 thousand hectares by 2020. The previous materials described the features of the annual increase in the area of ​​technical hemp crops in the hemp-growing provinces of Yunnan and Heilongjiang, as well as the features of the primary and deep processing capacities of various parts of the plant (seeds, straw / trusts, leaves and inflorescences, root) created in different regions of the country. 

This material briefly describes another tendency of Chinese hemp breeding - the expansion of the aura of cultivation of technical hemp. 

In 2019, Jilin (吉林) will become the third province in China, where the cultivation of industrial crops of technical cannabis will begin. According to the regional media, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the above administrative-territorial unit, and the Dutch company FG created the “Jilin Province Engineering Research Center for Corn Engineering”. As part of the work of the above Center, an agreement on cooperation in the field of hemp breeding has been signed.. The Dutch experts have already provided the Chinese side with the results of hemp research in the Netherlands, which they obtained as a result of 20 years of work with the plant, as well as developments aimed at introducing the technologies created in industrial production. In pursuance of the above agreement on cooperation in the field of modern hemp breeding, both sides will participate in the creation of a joint research institution, whose main task will be to study, develop, and create industrial varieties including technical hemp, production / processing technologies, and methods of extracting biologically active components from the plant on the basis of the Jilin Corn Research Center.

It should be noted that as early as March 2018, the regional government of the above-mentioned northeastern Chinese administrative-territorial unit included the development of industrial hemp industry & raquo; in a separate chapter "Anti-drug rules of Jilin Province". 

Commentary of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"

At present, only two Chinese provinces, Yunnan and Heilongjiang, are allowed to cultivate industrial crops of technical hemp. It is in these administrative-territorial units of the country that almost half of the world's acreage of malarotic cannabisa is cultivated.  

The approach of Chinese officials, who in the administrative-territorial unit, which did not specialize in the cultivation or processing of cannabis-free cannabis, created the appropriate regulatory framework, attracted attention, attracts one joint project of the most famous European hemp firms and equipped a center that will coordinate hemp-raising activities of the entire region.

Given the scale of the projects with which Chinese hemp trimmers traditionally enter the market, as well as the intensification of domestic Chinese competition, in the near future, the factor of sowing / processing cannabis of Jilin Province will affect not only the domestic Chinese, but also in the international hemp market. And this is despite the fact that even in 2017, the province was not considered promising in terms of the development of cannabisation. In particular, until recently, it was planned to concentrate 7 regional industrial bases of industrial hemping in the provinces of Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Gansu, Shanxi, and also in the autonomous regions - Xinjiang-Uygur and Inner Mongolia.
