A recent article outlines the conclusions from the "First National Industrial Hemp Forum" in Mexico, highlighting the need for legal recognition and regulation of hemp for its harvest, use, and commercialization across various industries. The forum emphasized the economic and social benefits of hemp and called for the establishment of Mexican standards and a regulation that promotes its production and commercialization. Other key points included the need to distinguish hemp from psychotropic cannabis variants, the potential for ecological production without agrochemicals, and the importance of traceability and good practices in the hemp industry. Additionally, the article stresses the need for seed development and validation, both domestically and for imports, and points out that hemp production can be inclusive and supportive of rural communities if developed under the Sustainable Rural Development Law.
