Hemp plant & hemp seeds
Hemp oil is a vegetable oil and is extracted from the hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa seed). There is a risk of confusion with the essential hemp oil, which is obtained from distilled leaves and flowers. In contrast to the resin of the hemp plant, the hemp seeds do not contain significant amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Therefore, neither the hemp seeds nor the hemp oil have an intoxicating effect.

subscribe to market reportCultivation & yield
For oil production Cannabis sativa var. sativa with particularly low THC content, i.e. without intoxicating effect, is used. The fat content of the seeds is 30-35%. In oil production the seeds are ground and gently pressed. The green to brown oil contains 45-65% linoleic acid and 14-30% α-linolenic acid. γ-linolenic acid is also contained in significant proportions.
The worldwide cultivation area of hemp varies strongly from year to year. The largest hemp producers are China, Canada and EU countries.
Background / history
Hemp is one of the oldest crops in the world. Originally, hemp was probably native to Central Asia, but in the course of time it has spread worldwide and can be found in temperate to tropical zones.
