2020 World Ag Expo to Debut Hemp Pavilion

Globally, industrial hemp is used in more than 250,000 products, and interest in this versatile plant doesn’t seem to have peaked just yet. For the first time, the World Ag Expo is going to feature a hemp pavilion where there will be space for exhibitors and a stage for seminars during the expo due to take place in February 2020.

The World Ag Expo held in California each year is seen as the defacto signal that the new agricultural season is about to begin, and that is why the organizers see this event as the best time to hold seminars and allow exhibitors to showcase what they have about hemp.

Now heading into its 53rd year, the World Ag Expo is undeniably the largest outdoor agricultural trade show organized annually in the world. The statistics of the last one held in 2019 are staggering.

For example, 102,800 people attended the event. These people were from 48 states across the U.S. and 65 countries. 1,400 exhibitors took part in the most recent event and next year is expected to attract even more. The available exhibition space is a mind-boggling 2.6 million square feet.

The expo is a platform for networking, business and education in one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States.

During the 2019 World Ag Expo, the organizers worked and included six hemp panels to educate prospective industrial hemp farmers about the different options available to them. Each of the six stands was packed to capacity during each panel session, and this confirmed to the organizers that the expo was a good event at which hemp farmers can be given all the information that they need about this newly legalized crop.

While the crop has great potential, there are a number of growing pains that farmers have to contend with before they can reap from their harvest. These pitfalls include challenges in getting certified seed, the need for market contracts before a farmer puts the plants in the ground and the difficulties in getting financing from banks are some of the key obstacles that farmers have to find solutions to.

Those same issues will form the core of the discussions conducted during the seminars in the hemp pavilion next year. Exhibitors will also display some of the solutions available to the hemp industry.

Exhibition space in the hemp pavilion is now on sale and bookings can be made through the event organizers.

It is believed that events such as the World Ag Expo provide hemp companies like Neutra Corp. (OTCQB: NTRR) and Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) with opportunities that can extend their reach beyond the markets where their products had been known.
