Pioneering Hemp in Peru: A Deep Dive into the Andean Trade Forum
In this episode of the *Let's Talk Hemp Volume Up* podcast, host Morris Beagle recaps his experience at the Andean Hemp and Cannabis Trade Forum in Lima, Peru, and discusses the event's key highlights and discussions with various industry experts. The forum, organized by GCNC with assistance from Futura Farms, gathered stakeholders, government officials, and industry leaders from Peru and beyond to explore the burgeoning hemp market in Latin America.
Morris speaks with Beau Whitney, Jill Reddish, Patrick Atagi, and other key players who delve into the potential of Peru as a strategic player in hemp production. Key topics include Peru’s emerging hemp laws, which set a THC threshold of 1% for hemp products, opportunities for exports, and the importance of a supportive regulatory framework. Experts also discussed the role of international cooperation, with shared insights on genetic research, regulatory lessons from the U.S. and Europe, and the need for accessible technology to drive the industry forward.
There was consensus that Peru and other South American countries could benefit from lessons learned in North America and Europe to avoid regulatory hurdles and market limitations. The podcast closes with an optimistic outlook for the hemp industry's potential growth in Latin America and upcoming events focused on hemp policy and global market expansion.
