MHP told about plans to grow niche crops
Kyiv • UNN
MHP is considering growing niche crops, such as hemp, which have a positive impact on the soil and oxygen production, and is exploring partnerships to grow hemp to produce products that are in demand in Europe.
MHP is considering growing niche crops such as hemp. Such projects are approached carefully, as there are many nuances. This was told by Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Agribusiness of MHP Serhiy Dobrohorsky, reports UNN.
Let's look at hemp. It's an interesting story, and it fits into our concept of regenerative production, because this crop has a positive impact on the soil. I've seen statistics that one hectare of hemp produces as much oxygen as four hectares of forest! This may not be a global story, but is it worth considering this segment within the company? It is worth it
Dobrohorsky recalled that the company recently held a fair in Pyrogovo, where the products of the winners of the Do Your Own entrepreneurial competition were presented.
MHP provided grants for these products. One of the winners of the Do It Yourself program makes various things from hemp, from socks to soap. Ukraine has historically grown hemp, and there is a demand for such products in Europe. Therefore, we are negotiating with partners to grow hemp to order
