Industrial hemp, grown for LATAM's land and people
Tropical Hemp is building an industrial hemp industry in LATAM, from tropicalized seeds to finished products, through the Industrial Hemp Project LATAM 2026 to 2030.
- 2026–2030
- Project horizon
- ≤ 1% THC
- Limit for fiber and grain under Law 2204
- 32.7%
- Protein in our seed genetics
- Candelaria
- Valle del Cauca, planned research center
What we do
One plant, a whole supply chain
We work across the value chain so that seed, field, processing and product are planned together.
02
Fiber
Short fiber, long fiber, seeds and seed oil are the finished products the project aims to bring to market.
03
Regenerative land
Hemp stores CO2 as it grows and improves soil. We study CO2 capture and nitrogen fixation in Latin American soils.
How it fits together
From seed to shelf
Seed
Developing a germplasm bank and non-GMO breeding for different thermal zones.
Field
Good agricultural practices and crop rotation that rebuilds soil.
Process
Harvesting and processing into seed, long fiber and short fiber (hurd).
Product
Food, oil, fibers and materials for industry.
Communities
Agriculture for every community
We want food and industrial hemp to reach every Latin American community. For Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, that means help obtaining licenses to grow, support through each phase of cultivation, and a path to sell their harvests.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Tropical Hemp?
Tropical Hemp is a regenerative agriculture company building an industrial hemp industry in LATAM. Its Industrial Hemp Project LATAM runs from 2026 to 2030, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Where does the project operate?
The project runs in LATAM. Tropical Hemp also has a presence in Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia and the United States. Its allied company, Tropical Cannabis, is based in Candelaria, Valle del Cauca, where a research center is planned.
Does the project work with hemp flower?
Yes. Tropical Hemp does not work with hemp flower. The project works with industrial hemp for food, fiber, seed oil, biomass and materials, using plants with THC content equal to or below 1%, as Law 2204 allows. The company also has a line of CBD products, including CBD isolate and distillate, that from 2027 will be exported to Brazil and European countries.
What products does the project aim to bring to market?
Food, short fiber, long fiber, seeds and seed oil, biopharma, energy and carbon sequestration, developed across a vertically integrated supply chain.
What is the Food and Industrial Hemp Park?
A hub for product development and supply chain research. It is also meant to host a National Center of Excellence for Food and Industrial Hemp, together with government bodies and universities.
How does hemp help the land?
The project studies CO2 capture and nitrogen fixation in Latin American soils. Hemp needs no chemicals, resists pests and diseases, uses little water per pound of fiber and works well in crop rotation.
Does Tropical Hemp work with local communities?
That is the aim of the project: to help Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities obtain licenses to grow food and industrial hemp, with support through every phase of cultivation and the future sale of their harvests.
