Paraguay’s introduction of hemp and CBD had similar roots to Brazil and Mexico. In 2016, HempMeds received approval to export Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) to treat a teen with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
The CBD-rich oil reduced severe daily seizures when traditional pharmaceuticals failed. This success helped establish the foundation for hemp and CBD adoption nationwide.
In 2019, Paraguay legalized cultivation and industrialization with a 0.5% THC limit and a maximum of 2 hectares (5 acres) per grower.

Currently grown in 14 of 17 provinces across ~5,000 hectares, Paraguay is now the third-largest global hemp supplier.
Exports include hemp flowers, fiber, seeds, foods, and CBD derivatives to markets like the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Europe.
4) Economic & Ecological Benefits
Hemp farming boosts incomes and GDP, generating about $1,600 USD per hectare, with potential for two crop cycles annually.
Environmentally, 5,000 hectares already sequester 310,000 tons of carbon. Expansion to 100,000+ hectares could support national carbon-neutral goals.
