Full-scale industrial cultivation of hemp began around 2800 B.C. in China, but remains of hemp rope fibers have been found and are thought to be 8,000 years old.

Today, industrial hemp remains one of the most lucrative crops where it is allowed to grow.

Here’s a list of the top 10 items made with hemp, highlighting its versatility across industries:

  1. Textiles and Clothing – durable and breathable fabrics that are eco-friendly and naturally resistant to mold and UV light.
  2. Paper – highly sustainable due to its fast growth cycle.
  3. Rope – strong fibers make it ideal for ropes
  4. Food and Beverages – Hemp seeds are a rich source of protein, essential fatty acids, and nutrients.
