HEMP INNOVATION
2015
LONG-TERM INTERNATIONA
L STRATEGY (LTIS)Prepared by Russ Crawford and Markus
Schmulgen
It is the goal of the industry to grow 40,000 hectares (100,000 acres) of hemp in Canada by 2015. Given average yields and current prices, this represents over $35 million in farm gate receipts which translates into over $100 million for the Canadian economy. The various goals of the LTIS will support…

LTIS GOALS
Specific Action PlansCreate and execute a brand and
communications strategy.Research health benefits and feed
applications.Secure GRAS status for hemp powder
and oil.Operate a full time industry
association office.
LTIS GOALS
Promotion and Communications Develop and implement a two-year branding and communications strategy for hemp and hemp products targeted at export destinations.
LTIS GOALS (cont.)
Research - Conduct research on health benefits and feed applications for hemp products achieving results from at least one study each year for the next two years for a total cost of $1,000,000 over the full time period.
LTIS GOALS (cont.)
Market Development - Secure GRAS status for hemp protein powder and hemp oil over the next two years at an annual cost of $1,000,000 per year. ($2,000,000 in total).
LTIS GOALS (cont.)
Administration - Operate a full time CHTA executive office out of Winnipeg with an Executive Director and communications employee responsible for day-to-day operations and market development execution at a cost of $100,000 per year.
LTIS GOALS (cont.)
Objectives that will benefit the whole industry…1. To undertake the research necessary to
promote and obtain regulatory approval for hemp as a healthy ingredient.
2. To facilitate the effective use of generic market development and promotion programs by CHTA members that are targeted and geared towards developing new opportunities.
3. To expand/find new uses or dual usage for hemp (seed, for food and cosmetics, and fibre)
LTIS OBJECTIVES
Effects of Hemp in Poultry Rations. Effects of Hemp Protein and BioActive
Peptides on Hypertension and Kidney and Heart Health.
The Safetiness and Bio Availability of a Long Term Consumption of Hemp Oil in Vivo.
Hemp Decortication and Use of Decortication By-Products for Biofuel Production and Green Building.

REPORT OVERVIEW
SWOT ANALYSIS
• Producer of high quality hemp seed and fibre.
• Focused, capable dedicated group of members of CHTA.
• Development of a prioritization of projects based on industrydemand and growth signals.
• Body of knowledge with respect to breeding, processing andproduct development.
STRENGTHS…
• Name recognition – Hemp – Canada. (More for food than fibre).
• Established relationships with retailers and end user clients – product awareness.
• Many Canadian co-operative ventures assuring on-going participation from vested stakeholders along the supply chain.
• Engaged government supportive indeveloping the crop sector.
…STRENGTHS
• The need to achieve Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status with the US Food & Drug Administration for hempseed and hemp products.
• Lack of approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for the use of hemp and hemp products in animal feed.
• Lack of clinical research specifically onthe health benefits of hemp seed and oil.
WEAKNESSES…
• Absence of funds to proceed with critical clinical trials and hemp product efficacy.
• Government’s 50/50 matching strategy poses significant problems in qualifying for any funding programs.
• Small producer and processor baseunable to source adequatefunding to conduct necessaryresearch.
• Absence of hemp fibre processingfacilities in Canada.
…WEAKNESSES
• Consumer demand is trending more towards local, natural, organic, eco-friendly products playing right into the primary attributes of hemp food and fibre products. o Human foods o Pet foods o Body care products o Health industry o Building products
• Build on the positive environmental impact of hemp in the agricultural sector as a minimal user of chemicals producing a non-GMO product.
OPPORTUNITIES…
• Work with government financial support and people resources to develop new products and identify and capture new markets.
• Continue the work on clinical trials, feeding trials and varietal development building on our existing experiential knowledge and expertise.
• Work together as an industry for the strategic advantage of the Canadian hemp trade.
…OPPORTUNITIES
• Inability of the CHTA to sustain operations due to inadequate funding. This would result in the loss of a focal point and primary contact for programs and direction.
• Concentration of dedicated industry participants may exhaust the energy and commitment of those people.
THREATS…
• USA legislation approving the cultivation of hemp (this may be seen as an opportunity, as it potentially accelerates the development process and research requirements with new investors, but it has the potential to marginalize the Canadian hemp industry).
• Potential for either demand or supply to outpace the other creating a market failure.
• Shortage of available, affordable sample testing laboratories.

STRATEGY
Discover factual attributes of the properties, characteristics and functional value of the hemp plant in order to make substantiated claims.
Seek out the needs and preferences consumers are looking for in food and fibre products.
Communicate, in an effective manner, how well hemp can satisfy these specified needs.

Failure to maintain an industry association to lead the initiatives identified through:Inadequate funding.Lack of industry support and co-
operation.Reduction in the profitability of
growing and/or processing hemp for food and fibre applications vs. competing crops.
