Our Mission
“Industrial Hemp = Fiber + Grain + Hurd + Biomass”
For decades, confusion between industrial hemp (iHemp) and THC-rich cannabis has stifled innovation, policy progress, and farmer livelihoods. At UnitedHempGrowers.com, we’re on a mission to:
🔬 Clarify the Science
iHemp contains <0.3% THC and is genetically distinct from psychoactive cannabis. It’s bred for fiber, grain, and hurd—not intoxication.
📜 Advocate for Fair Policies
Push for regulations that recognize iHemp’s agricultural and economic value.
🌱 Empower Through Education
Provide farmers, policymakers, and buyers with unbiased resources.
Why iHemp Matters
🌿 Sustainability

Absorbs 15+ tons of CO2 per hectare.
Requires minimal pesticides.
💼 Economic Empowerment
Creates jobs in farming, processing, and green manufacturing worldwide.
Diversifies income with markets for fiber, grain, and hurd.
📜 Historical Legacy
Once used for sails, textiles, and ropes.

Advocacy in Action
“The Science of Pollen: How iHemp Deters Illicit Cannabis”
🌾 Cross-Pollination Defense

Debunking Myths
❌ “iHemp is Just Like Marijuana”
False. iHemp lacks psychoactive properties and is bred for industrial use.
❌ “iHemp Can’t Thrive in Harsh Climates”
Drought-resistant and cold-hardy varieties thrive globally.
❌ “iHemp Isn’t Profitable”
