Welcome Mexican Hemp growers!

Mexico’s new organic crop: hemp

Hemp was first introduced to Mexico when the Spanish brought the seeds over to create  textiles of the “New World”. Mexico continued to cultivate hemp over the centuries and expanded the uses to medicinal, nutritional, and ritual purposes. However, in 1920 the Mexican government prohibited the possession, production, and sales of all forms of cannabis. And in 1961, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs further tightened regulations on cannabis. 

Yet several decades later in 2017, the Mexican government has reconsidered its ban on cannabis and approved the importation, exportation, and merchandising of hemp products that do not exceed 1% THC. Hemp and all hemp-related activities are now lawful in Mexico and are currently operating in a free market economy with little government oversight. This provides an amazing opportunity for entrepreneurs to take advantage of the current regulations and set forth on business plans without the hassle of paperwork or compliance.

However, Mexico’s minimal oversight is only temporary and federal agencies in charge regulating cannabis and hemp, will be established by 2024. Departments proposed to oversee hemp and cannabis related activities are:

National Service of Health, Food Safety, and Quality (SENASICA)-

• issue cultivation and processing license 

Ministry of Agriculture (SADER) -

• issue permits to import seeds

Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) -

• regulate importation of raw materials

In the meantime, numerous hemp related products ranging from supplements, cosmetics, foods and oils have been made easily available to Mexico’s population. In addition, hemp and cannabis oils are organic and chemical free by nature, which is very popular and aligned with Mexico’s natural remedies culture. 

Within Latin America, Mexico is currently the second largest market for personal care products; and with a population of 132 million, Mexico’s hemp market has the potential to expand greatly. In 2019, Mexico’s CBD and hemp market was valued at 47 million and could reach 275.8 million by 2025.
