As global industries move toward renewable raw materials and low-carbon supply chains, technical hemp biomass has emerged as a key resource in the bio-based economy. Companies that specialize in brokering the import and export of hemp biomass and derivative products serve as critical connectors between agricultural producers, processing industries, and end-use manufacturers.
We provide turnkey solutions:
- Sourcing and Supplier Relations: Identifying and vetting certified hemp growers and processors capable of supplying technical-grade biomass (hurds, stalks, fibers, shives, and dust).
- Market Development: Building relationships with industrial users in sectors such as construction materials (hempcrete, fiberboard), automotive composites, pulp and paper, textiles, and renewable energy.
- Contract and Price Structuring: Negotiating forward contracts and spot trades that ensure stable pricing, volume guarantees, and quality consistency across multiple production seasons.
Import and Export Operations
Hemp biomass trading is inherently international, as production capacity, processing infrastructure, and end-use markets are often located in different regions. Brokerage companies manage these cross-border operations by coordinating the full logistical and regulatory chain.
- Export Management:
- Organizing bulk or containerized shipments of hemp stalks, hurd, or processed fiber.
- Ensuring compliance with phytosanitary and transport documentation requirements, including THC-free certification and industrial-use declarations.
- Working with specialized freight forwarders familiar with biomass and hemp-specific customs procedures.
- Import Handling:
- Managing import permits and ensuring compliance with national hemp regulations (e.g., EU Common Catalogue varieties, USDA hemp rules).
- Overseeing customs clearance, laboratory testing, and origin traceability verification.
- Coordinating distribution to processing facilities or manufacturers within the destination country.
- Storage and Quality Control:
- Implementing moisture management, contamination prevention, and batch segregation protocols.
- Conducting quality analyses (fiber length, lignin content, bulk density, and cleanliness) to meet technical specifications.
