Commentary of the specialists of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"

In our country, there is minimal experience in the use of various hemp components (grain, fibrous part, leaves and inflorescences), as well as their derivatives in aquaculture. The attraction of resources from the state for a detailed study of the possibilities of using the plant for aquaculture in the United States can be a positive experience for a similar kind of projects already being implemented in Ukraine.
