The Hemp Fiber Industry

This is a narrated video of the presentation given by Lawrence Serbin at the NoCo Hemp Expo on April 13, 2024 in Estes Park, Colorado. This is a detailed video providing information on exactly how hemp is grown and processed into its various fibers components. This is a must watch for anyone interested in getting into the hemp fiber industry.

ok but how do we green decorticate in the field? Is it one machine cutting and feeding into self contained decorticator. And how do you get from dirty to clean?

[@dwilliamsnetosnet]

Are the present day warehouse decortication companies fighting this, or joining in with the idea?

[@hemptraders5881]

Too early to tell.

I see 11 year old vid from an Australian company which no longer has the website listed. Who is developing in field harvest/decortification? You? what stage r u at?

So it’s not feasible to grow for dual purpose of both fiber and cbd flower? It appears that it is being done in Romania. If I grow so many acres of feminized cbd flower couldn’t I use the stalks to collect fibers for hemp plastic, Crete, insulation, etc. or is there a better use so that we are using the entire plant?

[@hemptraders5881]

While it is technically possible to collect the fiber from hemp grown for flower and have it processed, it would not be enough to cover the demands for the industry once it takes off. The industry will not be able to rely upon the flower crops of marijuana or CBD to fulfill its demands. Most flower crops are too small to justify building a decortication factory to process the stalks. And the cost to ship the stalks from a flower crop to a processing facility would be too expensive.
