EIHA promoting hemp as sustainable resource

What is EIHA?

The European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) is a trade organization representing the interests of the European cannabis industry. It was founded in 1999 with the aim of promoting the use of hemp products in general. In addition EIHA’s goal is also to create a platform for the exchange of information and experiences between its members. The association commits to develop a sustainable hemp industry in Europe and ensure the full exploitation of hemp’s potential.

First of all, the European Industrial Hemp Association represents the common interests of hemp farmers, producers and traders. Stakeholders work with hemp fibres, shives, seeds, leaves and cannabinoids. Their main task is to serve, protect and represent the hemp sector in the EU and international policy-making. EIHA covers different areas for the application of hemp. They focus namely on the use for construction materials, textiles, cosmetics, feed, food and supplements.
