China to build a $22 million CBD industrial park

The Chinese hemp firm Shineco and the Xingshan People’s Government are getting into the CBD business. However, they plan on doing business outside of the city of Hegang in Heilongjiang Province in China. Also, they will promote the development of the CBD and hemp industry by creating a series of vertical farms. They have the aim of forming a local industry and a new economy.

Last week, Shineco announced that it has completed the planting of its first fields (89 acres). Furthermore, they are planting in the Heilongjiang province, through agreements with the local municipal authorities.

Starting with CBD

“Heilongjiang province has favorable geographical characteristics for industrial hemp cultivation, including favorable climate and soil conditions,” said Yuying Zhang, president and chief executive officer of Shineco. “We plan to cultivate this land using specialized seeds with high CBD content in an effort to develop high-quality CBD products.

The partners plan to finally develop between 3,000 and 5,000 acres in a “high quality industrial hemp project,” Shineco said in a press release.

The company will conduct joint research and development on several new varieties of industrial hemp. Furthermore, they will also establish a CDB Extraction Industrial Park, affiliated with the Industrial Hemp Research Center. They are working with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an Industrial Hemp Workstation sponsored by the City of Hegang.

CBD Industrial Park

As part of the Agreement, both parties expect to invest about $22 million. Furthermore, they aim to establish the CDB Extraction Industrial Park with an annual production of 30 tons of CDB extract.

The facility will also produce other medical raw materials; 2,000 tons of industrial hemp fiber; 500 tons of hemp seed oil; and 4,000 to 6,000 tons of hemp leaves, Shineco said.

Shineco, traded on the NASDAQ exchange in the United States, is incorporated in Delaware, USA. Headquartered in Beijing, the company manufactures Chinese medicinal herbs and specialized textiles, and produces organic agricultural products.
