A brief analysis of konoplevodstva Germany
Given the high cost of the German labor force and the absence of a large number of available arable land, a considerable part of raw hemp German entrepreneurs import from neighboring countries, Europe and China. The use of hemp fibers for manufacturing biocomposite materials is one of the drivers of the economy today, and the therapeutic use of leaves and inflorescences malonarkoticheskoy cannabis in the medical field are interested in not only the German doctors, but also representatives of major pharmaceutical giants, the power of which are located on the territory of the country. Each year, an increasing demand for food, cosmetics, textiles made from hemp raw materials, insulation materials are actively used on hemp based in ecological construction pushes German entrepreneurs annually to develop hemp market of the country, as well as look for opportunities to cheap imports of raw hemp in Germany.
The historical aspect
The territory of modern Germany is one of the oldest districts where hemp was cultivated everywhere. The first mention of the use of cannabis in food to date back to 5500 BC In addition to seeds and "green mass" is used everywhere in Germany as a foodstuff and the basis for the oldest cosmetic and pharmacological products, hemp fiber was used for the manufacture of fabrics (textiles, knitted fabrics, canvas, burlap), as well as paper. A significant reduction in cannabis cultivation in Germany there since the XVII century, when in Europe there is a huge number of cheap hemp from tsarist Russia, and finally reduced to a few hundred hectares.
During World War II, the German industry (as well as the United States) is an acute shortage of raw hemp, so the area of crops in the country increased to several thousand hectares.
After the end of World War II in the Federal Republic of Germany konoplevodstvo developed too rapidly, in contrast to the German Democratic Republic, where in the early 60s the area of cannabis crops reached 6 thousand hectares.
However konoplevodstvo in both of the above countries were actually destroyed after the ratification of the UN Single Convention in 1961, when laws and regulations have been adopted at the level of the legal framework, significantly impede the existence of the most highly profitable branches of agriculture. In fact, in the first half of the 80-ies of XX century konoplevodstvo in both countries it has been completely destroyed.
Modern konoplevodstvo
After the unification of West and East Germany, the German government has developed a program of national revival konoplevodstva. That is the political will of the German government officials launched the reviving German konoplevodstva in the mid 90-ies of the last century.
