Hemp cultivation is poised to become a profitable venture for Ukrainian farmers, with the potential to earn over UAH 12 million from 100 hectares, as stated by Serhiy Tkachenko, director of the Institute of Bast Crops. The plant is expected to become as common as wheat in Ukraine. The yield of hemp is approximately 1.3 tons per hectare, and 30% of the raw material can be extracted as oil, which currently sells for at least UAH 400/kg. Additionally, the producer can sell the cake from the plant for protein fodder and the straw for profit. The cost of growing hemp is roughly equivalent to corn, and the equipment and fertilizer needs are similar.
