Kentucky leads the nation in growing and processing this versatile crop. Our soil is perfect for its healthy growth, and our research and manufacturing expertise is using every part of the hemp plant.

Kentucky is leading the way in the creation of the new hemp industry, thanks in large part to cooperation between the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and other agencies. Kentucky will be providing the necessary resources to grow the industry in the Commonwealth quickly, while continuing to recruit new and expanding processors and manufacturers. This allows Kentucky to be a “one stop shop” for anyone in the hemp industry.
