H**p fiber being used for paper could be a very big deal because the potential market is enormous. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the world produced approximately 423 million metric tons of paper and paperboard in 2024, compared with about 132 million metric tons of all textile fibers produced globally that year. Even capturing a very small percentage of the paper market could create tremendous new demand for industrial h**p fiber. The more large-volume applications we develop for h**p, the stronger the economics become for farmers, processors, and the entire h**p industry.

It was just this past February 19th that the Global H**p Innovation Center hosted our H**p Food, Beverage, and Packaging Workshop where our Oregon State University and Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences researchers and administrators and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agri...

🌱 The Fiber King™ is making news!

We’re excited to share this recent article about the Fiber King™ and our successful demonstration at Oregon State University’s Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center in Klamath Falls.
After years of development, it is incredibly rewarding to see the Fiber King™ successfully harvesting and green-decorticating h**p in a university research field.

The Fiber King™ is designed to harvest, decorticate, and separate h**p directly in the field—producing long bast fiber and clean h**p hurd in a single pass. Our goal has always been simple: make h**p more profitable for farmers while lowering the cost of h**p fiber and hurd for manufacturers.

University testing and independent evaluation are important steps as we move closer to commercial production, and we’re very excited about what comes next.

Take a look at the article and let us know what you think!

🌱 What if farmers could earn more money growing h**p?
That’s one of the primary goals behind the Fiber King™.
In the traditional model, farmers harvest their h**p and transport the stalks to a centralized decortication facility, where the bast fiber and hurd are separated before being sold to processors and manufacturers.
The Fiber King™ changes that model. By harvesting, decorticating, and separating h**p directly in the field, farmers can produce high-quality bast fiber and clean h**p hurd themselves—eliminating the need for a separate decortication facility and allowing them to sell directly to processors and manufacturers.
Fewer post-harvest steps. Lower transportation and processing costs. More of the crop’s value stays with the farmer.

🎥 More brand-new Fiber King™ harvest footage!
When people think about h**p harvesting, they often focus on the bast fiber—but every h**p stalk contains two valuable raw materials: bast fiber and hurd.
The Fiber King™ harvests, decorticates, and separates both in a single pass, producing long, high-quality bast fiber and clean, light-colored h**p hurd with virtually no dust. Our hurd averages ½ to 2 inches in length and is produced while the plant is still green, resulting in an exceptionally clean, premium-quality product.
By maximizing the quality of both the bast fiber and the hurd, the Fiber King™ helps unlock more value from every acre of h**p.

🎥 New Fiber King™ harvest footage is here!
We've just finished filming brand-new footage of the Fiber King™ harvesting h**p in the field, and we're excited to share one of the biggest advantages of green decortication—higher-quality bast fiber.
By processing the h**p immediately while it's still green, Fiber King™ helps preserve the natural integrity of the fiber, eliminates the need for retting, and produces long, clean fibers with excellent uniformity. That means less decomposition, no mold from retting, reduced discoloration, and fiber that's suitable for premium applications like textiles, composites, and many other industrial products.
One of our favorite facts: The bast fiber is as long as the h**p plant itself. Longer fibers offer greater versatility because they can always be shortened for specific applications—but once fiber has been shortened, it can never be made longer.
Take a look at the new video and let us know what you think! Which industries do you believe will benefit the most from longer, higher-quality h**p fiber?

This was a great article about H**p Traders from Tocco. They asked some great questions about the benefits of h**p fabric and h**p building materials.

For decades, entering the h**p fiber industry has required a massive investment in centralized decortication plants, expensive equipment, land, buildings, labor, electricity, and the ongoing cost of transporting bulky h**p stalks from the field to the processor.
The Fiber King™ changes that model. By harvesting, decorticating, and separating h**p in a single pass directly in the field, it reduces both the initial investment and the long-term operating costs of producing high-quality h**p bast fiber and hurd. Lower startup costs, lower operating expenses, and a more profitable path to building the h**p fiber industry.
Would reducing the cost of h**p processing be the breakthrough needed to accelerate the growth of the h**p fiber industry? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

You'll never forget the first time you try h**p (t-shirts that is). The highest quality h**p at the lowest prices.

This reform of h**p laws in New Zealand is an encouraging step forward and demonstrates growing recognition of h**p's economic and environmental potential. However, there is still more work to be done. H**p grain should be fully approved for use in animal feed, and regulations should clearly distinguish between industrial h**p grown for fiber and grain and h**p cultivated for medicinal or recreational purposes.
Clear, science-based regulations can help farmers, processors, and manufacturers unlock the full value of this versatile crop while supporting rural economies and sustainable industries.
What additional policy changes do you think are needed to help the h**p industry reach its full potential?

Despite the deregulation of cultivation, significant restrictions remain on what can be done with plant tops and roots.

🌱 Solutions Are Available. 🌱
It's easy to focus on the challenges facing our world—rising costs, environmental concerns, dependence on petroleum, and struggling rural economies. But there is good news: practical solutions already exist, and industrial h**p is one of the most promising.
H**p can provide sustainable alternatives for textiles, paper, plastics, building materials, biofuels, animal bedding, and hundreds of other products. Even more exciting, new technologies like the Fiber King™ Green Decorticator are helping make h**p more affordable and profitable by allowing farmers to harvest, decorticate, and separate fiber and hurd in a single pass through the field.
When farmers earn more money and the cost of h**p fiber and hurd decreases, entirely new markets become possible. That means more sustainable products, stronger rural economies, less dependence on petroleum, and a healthier future for all of us.
The future isn't something we have to wait for—it's already being built.
Solutions are available. And the best is yet to come.
