The Alberta HUB region is emerging as a global leader in growing industrial hemp for seed, fibre and CBD (cannabidiol) production, processing and manufacturing. The Alberta HUB region has the climate and extensive farming capacity to grow hemp with over 5,000 farms and 3 million cultivated acres.

With the northern advantage for growing hemp for fibre producing 20-30% higher yields of stalks than in the southern regions, our region is home to InnoTech Alberta where the majority of Hemp research is taking place supporting growers and businesses in this sector.

The Alberta HUB region offers investors access to a transportation network connecting to the U.S. and Asian markets via road, rail and air, low cost land opportunities and an educated labour force.
