Market Opportunities
These days, at least 47 countries cultivate hemp for commercial or research purposes. In June 2018, the
U.S. Senate passed its 2018 Farm Bill and in December 2018, President Trump signed the bill into law to
make hemp legal for the first time since the 1930s. The bill removes hemp from the Controlled
Substances Act, effectively legalizing the plant federally and allowing it to be grown, processed, and sold
as an agricultural commodity. Individual states will be authorized to draft their own regulations
governing hemp cultivation.
As outlined in a new report “Global State of Hemp: 2019 Industry Outlook” from New Frontier Data, the
global hemp industry reached $3.7 billion in 2018 and is projected to exceed $5.7 billion in 2020 with
the U.S. hemp market representing 32%.
The U.S. market for CBD products hit $291 million in 2017 – including both hemp and marijuana-
derived sources – while the hemp CBD market has reached an estimated retail value of $145 million. In
2018, hemp-derived CBD products sales accounted for about $390 million. Hemp legalization and new
methods of CBD oil extraction with a growing number of various CBD infused products available in
mainstream markets will lead to an increase in consumer spending on CBD products.
Overall hemp acreage reached 78,176 in 2018 recording a tripling of land under hemp from 25,713 in
2017, with the total number of hemp growing states up to 23 from 19 states, according to the American
hemp advocacy group Vote Hemp. The number of acres of hemp licensed in 2019 totaled over 500,000
in 34 states. The total number of hemp licenses increased from 3,546 in 2018 to 16,877 in 2019.
According to the report from New Frontier Data, U.S. sales of hemp products estimated at about $1
billion in 2018, are projected to grow 27% annually to reach $2.6 billion by 2022 and about half of this
($1.3 billion) are expected to come from hemp-derived CBD products.

Global Market
These days, at least 47 countries cultivate hemp for commercial or research purposes. The largest
producers of hemp are currently China, USA, Canada, Chile and France.
Figure 1. Hemp Global Acreage (2000-2018) Figure 2. Hemp Global Production (2000-2018)
Hemp acreage in North America and the European Union countries reached record levels in 2018,
nearly 160,000 acres and about 100,000 acres respectively, which could put global acreage at more
than 400,000 acres.
The EU has an active 100,000-acrege hemp market, with production in most member nations.
Production is centered in France, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Romania. Many EU countries lifted
their bans on hemp production in the 1990s and, until recently, also subsidized the production of “flax
and hemp” under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy. Most EU production is of hurds, seeds, fibers,
and pharmaceuticals.
China is another major producer, mostly of hemp textiles and related products, as well as a major
supplier to the United States. In 2017, China’s hemp was grown on about 114,000 acres. FAO data also
report hemp production in Chile, China, Iran, Japan, South and North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, and
Turkey. Other countries with active hemp grower and/or consumer markets are New Zealand, India,
Egypt, South Africa, Thailand, Malawi, and Uruguay1.
According to a new report “Global State of Hemp: 2019 Industry Outlook” from New Frontier Data, the
global hemp industry reached $3.7 billion in 2018.
A “Global Forecast to 2025” report projects the global industrial hemp market to grow at a compound
annual growth rate of 34% from $4.6 billion in 2019 to $26.6 billion by 20252.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the numerous compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD oil can be
obtained from two different species of cannabinoids: marijuana and hemp, which come from the same
plant species called Cannabis sativa. Hemp-based CBD oil products have a lower delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration, while marijuana-derived CBD oil products have a relatively
high concentration of THC. Therefor, marijuana-based CBD products can be used only when they are
prescribed by doctors while hemp-based CBD oils do not normally require a prescription.
Over the years, the demand for CBD oil has increased in different parts of the world because of the
growing awareness about the health benefits of CBD oil.
The latest trend in the CBD market is growing influence of online retailing. The increasing popularity of
e-commerce businesses worldwide has granted vendors with an opportunity to enhance their profit
margins and revenues. Online and e-commerce channels support both business-to-consumer (B2C) and
business-to-business (B2B) operations.
The global legal market for CBD is forecasted to be worth more than $20 billion by 2022, according to
research firm Brightfield Group3. Technavio’s market analysts estimate that the market will grow to
$2.7 billion by 2022 with an estimated CAGR of more than 31 % (2018-2022)4. The North American
market dominates the global CBD oil market followed by EMEA and APAC.

The U.S. Market
Hemp’s multitude of uses include building materials, foods, personal hygiene, textiles, and
pharmaceutical drugs that use CBD, a cannabinoid that can be extracted from cannabis in both its
marijuana and hemp forms.
The Hemp Industries Association
(HIA) reported total U.S. retail sales
of hemp products of nearly $700
million in 2016. HIA claims that U.S.
hemp retail sales have grown by
about 10% to more than 20%
annually since 2011. Mostly, this
growth is attributable to sales of
hemp-based care products,
supplements, and foods. Together,
these categories accounted for more
than two-thirds of the value of U.S.
retail sales in 2016.
Hemp Business Journal has also reviewed sales of clothing, auto parts, building materials and various
other products, and estimates the total retail value of hemp products sold in the U.S. in 2017 to be at
least $820 million, including hemp foods (17%); personal care products (22%); textiles (13%);
supplements (5%); hemp derived cannabidiol or CBD products (23%), consumer textiles (13%);
industrial applications (18%); and other products such as paper and building materials accounted for
the remaining 2% of the market.
Hemp imports to the United States – consisting of hemp seeds and fibers often used as inputs for use in
further manufacturing – totaled $67.3 million in 2017, 57% decrease in seed imports from 2017, and
the first half of 2018 puts the import market on pace for a 20% decrease. This descending trend is
expected to continue as the U.S. hemp market continues to mature.
In June 2018, the U.S. Senate passed its 2018 Farm Bill and in December 2018, President Trump signed
the bill into law to make hemp legal for the first time since the 1930s. The bill removes hemp from the
Controlled Substances Act, effectively legalizing the plant federally and allowing it to be grown,
processed, and sold as an agricultural commodity. Individual states will be authorized to draft their own
regulations governing hemp cultivation.
 The 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of the plant with a
THC concentration of not more than 0.3 percent by dry weight.
 The 2018 Farm Bill removes hemp from the Controlled Substances Act.
 The 2018 Farm Bill delegates to states and Indian tribes the broad authority to regulate and limit
the production and sale of hemp and hemp products within their borders. States and Indian tribes
cannot, however, limit the transportation or shipment of hemp and hemp products through their
respective jurisdictions
 CBD products produced from industrial hemp are no longer considered Schedule I substances,
CBD products that come from marijuana plants with more than 0.3 percent THC are still federally
illegal.

Overall hemp acreage reached 78,176 in 2018 recording a tripling of land under hemp from 25,713 in
2017, with the total number of hemp growing states up to 23 from 19 states, according to the American
hemp advocacy group Vote Hemp.
In 2019, new hemp growing programs have started in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California,
Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Rhode Island.
The number of acres of hemp licensed in 2019 totaled over 500,000 in 34 states. The total number of
hemp licenses increased from 3,546 in 2018 to 16,877 in 20195.
According to the Global State of Hemp Report, U.S. sales of hemp products estimated at about $1 billion
in 2018, are projected to grow with a combined annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% from 2018-2022 to
become a $2.6-billion industry.
After the adoption of the 2018 Farm Bill, CBD producers, in particular, will have much greater incentive
to use hemp as their main source for CBD.
The U.S. market for CBD
products hit $367
million in 2017 –
including both hemp
and marijuana-derived
sources – while the
hemp CBD market has
reached an estimated
retail value of $190
million. In 2018, hemp-derived CBD products sales accounted for about $390 million.

Hemp legalization and new methods of CBD oil extraction with a growing number of various CBD
infused products available in mainstream markets will lead to an increase in consumer spending on
CBD products.
New Frontier Data estimates hemp-derived CBD market to reach $1.3 billion in 2022, representing a
27.2% 5-year CAGR.
Oregon Hemp/CBD Industry
Oregon authorized hemp cultivation in 2009, however the first hemp grower was licensed by the state’s
Department of Agriculture only in 2015, after Congress expressly authorized states to allow hemp
cultivation. The state requires separate licenses for cultivation and processing hemp. Each license costs
$1,300 a year.
Regarding to Oregon’s new testing requirements that took effect in October 2017, hemp producers are
subject to the testing requirements, with
100% of registered hemp fields tested for
THC content. ORELAP (Oregon
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation
Program) has already accredited
laboratories who are licensed with the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC)
can conduct pre-harvest testing of industrial
hemp.
Even though Oregon allows seed and fiber
production, almost all the hemp growers are
growing plants for CBD extraction.

According to a search of the Oregon Department of Agriculture database, there are currently 782
licensed growers and 360 licensed seed producers. Oregon has 264 licensed hemp processors, and most
are for the extraction of CBD.
Oregon hemp market growers report that the market is promising6:
 $100 or more per pound of dried hemp flowers or buds for use in CBD oil extraction. As in other
states, the material prices vary widely based on CBD content.
 About $0.50 per pound for hemp seeds intended to be pressed for seed oil.
The Vote Hemp reported that 7,808 acres of hemp were grown in Oregon in 2018 comparing to 3,469
acres in 20177 and according to the Portland Business Journal8 it is expected over 25,000 acres in
production for the 2019 season.

Positioning
The company will have four differentiation strategies:
1. Product Quality – BUSINESS NAME will produce high-quality CBD oil and CBD oil infused
products to establish its brand and provide the most effective treatment for its clients by utilizing
small amount production to always ensure that our consistently high-quality products are in
fresh supply. We will solicit feedback from our customers to continuously improve product
offerings.
2. Referral Networks – We will establish a referral network that supports product consistency,
brand recognition, and reliable delivery.
3. Pricing – BUSINESS NAME will set its price very competitively.
4. Personalized Service – The management team will always be available to talk with customers
and potential customers, providing them with years of experience and expertise.
Marketing Plan
The most effective strategies for CBD companies are direct marketing at industry conferences and other
events, building communities around CBD-related concerns such as health and wellness. The marketing
and sales strategy of BUSINESS NAME will be based on generating long-term personalized
relationships.
Marketing and advertising campaign includes:
A. Information kits for clients: Information kits will include registration forms, brochures, and
general information on the use of CBD products. They will also provide information on how to
process orders.
B. Brochures: We will produce high-quality brochures that will be distributed to clients.
C. Website: We will have a professionally designed website integrated with a payment system. We
will post product photos with detailed information and special promotions to encourage new
visitors to try and returning customers to repeat purchases.
D. While use of paid advertising is limited due to restrictions on terms like cannabis and lack of
distinction between hemp-derived CBD and marijuana-based products because of federal laws,
we intend to build a strong organic following of customers. Some keywords: hemp oil, CBD for
sale, CBD isolate, CBD wholesale, CBD infused products.
E. Social Media: We will have a significant social media presence. Appropriate forums will be
monitored daily, with dedicated staff resources to be active and knowledgeable participants. We
will develop a social media content strategy which will include Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,
LinkedIn and YouTube. Our staff will be trained in the legalities of promoting CBD products.
F. Merchandise: BUSINESS NAME -branded products such as shirts, hats, grinders,
cases/containers, etc. will be offered through our store.
G. Event Sponsorships: Sponsor health, or related industry events to gain brand exposure and
bring the BUSINESS NAME name to the forefront of the community.

Sales Channels
Last year, internet sales remained the
leading sales channel for hemp-
derived retailers with about 60% of
the market, however, it is expected
that natural, specialty and
conventional retailers will increase
market share and internet sales will
drop to less than 40% in 2022 as the
market matures with better
consumer education, product
awareness and more traditional
options become available to
consumers across the United State.
BUSINESS NAME intends to combine retail sales in store and online.
Industry Leaders
In every business there is competition, however, we believe we possess several strengths that will allow
us to remain visible on BUSINESS
NAME radar at all times. CBD
industry is known to be highly
competitive in the most parts of
the world. The industry is
growing and there are
alternative ways through which
clients can obtain their CBD
products.
In this industry, most of the
competitive dynamics center
around the quality of products,
the service offered, the store
location. The branding of
BUSINESS NAME plays a significant role.

Target Customers
According to a new analysis by Cowen & Co, about 7% of Americans are already using CBD products,
placing the potential market capacity at $16 billion by 2025. The survey also found that CBD products
use is highest among consumers aged 18 to 34. Liquid form (tinctures) accounted for the biggest share
of the market at 44%, followed by topical forms at 26%, edible forms (capsules) at 22% and drinks at
19%.
Given that CBD users consistently ranked CBD’s lack of psychoactive effects as its best feature, it makes
sense that for CBD consumers quality and CBD:THC concentration have more priority comparing to the
price and other factors.
The absence of competition from the black market also gives CBD product manufacturers an edge,
because lower-cost alternatives do not yet exist, however, as the market matures and economies of
scale lead to lower unit costs and prices, it is likely that CBD consumers will become more price
sensitive as well.

BUSINESS NAME plans outdoor hemp farming in 000 acres of agricultural land in …. Hemp will be
planted through mid-to-late Month and Company expects to harvest 0,000 plants per acre.
Indoor Hemp Farming
BUSINESS NAME plans indoor hemp farming in 00,000 sq. ft industrial facility in …. The cultivation
premises will be adequate to house and grow up to 0,000 plants.
Greenhouses combine the latest technology in HVAC, light deprivation, environmental controls,
irrigation, insect exclusion, benching systems, hybrid techniques, and much more to create a systematic
and efficient growing approach:
A. The biggest advantage Greenhouse Hemp Growers have is the abundance of natural light coming into
the greenhouse.
B. While hemp likes long daylight during the vegetative stage, a good blackout system is required for
the best flowering production.
C. Heating and Cooling Systems are an important component of the hemp greenhouse.
D. Ventilation is essential as with all greenhouse crops. Our integrated growing solutions will include
air filtration systems where required.
E. A nutrient management system is essential for maximizing the production yield of the hemp plants
and ensuring consistent and reliable quality.
F. The computer control systems control and monitor all the nutrients, lights, blackout, air circulation,
CO2 and irrigation needs of the plants and can handle different environments for propagation, cloning
and flowering.

Extraction & Refining
Supercritical CO2 Extraction Method
We intend to use a High Production CO2 Extraction Equipment to get a CBD primary extract containing
a full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes of which the THC level is below 0.3%. The equipment
utilizes Dual-Phase Pumping System – a liquid pump that allows for high CO2 flows at higher pressures
and the Diaphragm Compressor Technology gas pump for energy efficiency and cold separation, these
systems will provide high production with a wide range of processing options for supercritical and
subcritical extractions.
The system can process up to 00 pounds of dried
material per day and uses 3-phase 208v, 230v,
460v. Equipped with CO2 storage tank.
Hemp is ground up and added to the extraction
vessel. CO2 is pressurized and passed over the
plant material. The pressurized CO2 can either be
processed subcritically (low pressure, low
temperature) or supercritically (high pressure,
high temperature), depending on the desired
outcome. Subcritical extracts will require less
post processing, while supercritical extracts will
need post processing work to remove undesired
plant compounds like fats and waxes.
We have identified the most prominent manufacturer of CO2 extraction systems and intend to use the
following equipment:
…
Main Features:
 Fully automated
 Highest yield per hour
 Ideal for high-volume production
 Most versatile – runs subcritical and supercritical
 Dual-Phase Pumping System (liquid and gas)
 Multiple 3-phase power options
 Valveless Expansion Technology
 Widest supercritical range

Ethanol & Hydrocarbon Extraction Methods
Ethanol Advantages:
 The FDA classifies ethanol as “Generally Regarded as Safe,” or GRAS, meaning that it is safe for
human consumption.
 Ethanol is safer than butane and more effective than supercritical CO2.
 The ethanol removed from the finished concentrate can be reused in multiple extractions, which
effectively eliminates the production of chemical waste.
 Ethanol extraction method is great for creating a full spectrum hemp extracts and tinctures.
Hydrocarbon Advantages:
 Butane/Propane extraction technique is the most
cost-efficient extraction method available.
 With an average extraction cycle of less than one
hour, BHO is the fastest commercial extraction
method. That is 9 times faster than the average 9
hours comparable CO2 supercritical extraction
cycle.
 Certified BHO extraction is safe and if correctly
installed, pose no safety risk or risk to the
environment. BHO extraction is also US FDA-
approved and this method of extraction is
currently also widely used for the extraction of
vegetable oils from seeds such as soybeans, canola, sunflower and flax.
 Can resolve some ethanol extraction disadvantages, including the limitation in the products can
be produced and high post processing labor intensive, involving the use of several different
methods of refinement and filtration.
That is why we intend to use a High Production Extraction system, which is equipped for both ethanol-
and hydrocarbon- based solvents, to get a CBD primary extract containing a full spectrum of
cannabinoids and terpenes of which the THC level has tested below 0.3%. We have identified the most
prominent manufacturer and plan to use the following equipment:
….
The process begins with the double-jacketed reactor, walk-in freezer, or chest freezer, which allows to
keep a constant negative temperature on the solvent while the extraction process takes place. To
achieve this, the cryogenic chiller takes the coolant down to -20˚C and this is pumped between the glass
layers in the reactor. The solvent will be kept in the inner container and the frozen material will be
soaked for a period of time.
Once the soak is complete, the plant material will be removed, and the extract will be filtered into the
rotary evaporator (or large-scale reactor), through a series of filters. The rotary evaporator stays under
vacuum, which allows distillation and reclaim of the alcohol at low temperature, thus keeping the more
volatile molecules intact. The reclaimed alcohol will then be reused for another extraction.

Cold Press Method
In procedures for oil production where it is essential to yield maximum nutritional value, mechanical
extraction by a screw press is the technology of choice.
The most common method is single-stage cold pressing, which is a natural means of obtaining a high-
quality ‘virgin’ oil. This process takes place inside the screw press, where changes in the shape of the
screw flight or also narrowing at the outlet of the press cause a gradual compaction of the material. The
associated friction leads to an increase in temperature, which, however, must not exceed 50 C during
cold pressing.
The pressing machinery contains holes through which the expelled oil can flow out. Thus, there is no
need for chemical solvents at any stage of the process. As the oil obtained in this way contains solid
particles that came in the seeds (the so-called solids), subsequent filtration is necessary. For oil
filtration, plate filters are commonly employed. In this setup, the solids are used as a filtration medium
for the process.
We intend to use high-capacity presses …, which allows processing of … to … lbs. of seeds per hour and
are specially developed for CBD oil. The equipment works with a wide range of seeds and allows an
easy transfer between the crops. It has a two-stage pressing configuration, whereby the oilseed is pre-
pressed first and the remaining material is pressed again in the final press. This configuration is still
very careful and natural (it is still cold-pressed); its advantage is a higher oil yield.
Post-Processing Short Path Wiped Film Distillation
We will also use a High Production WFE system to get a pure oil.
The rotating wiper system distributes the … CBD oil onto the
inner wall of the short path evaporator, the evaporation process
is sped up by the rotating wipers spreading the oil into a thin
film layer so that the heat transfer and molecule transfer are
optimized. The residence time is less than 10 seconds and the
vapors are condensed onto the internal condenser. The short
path distillation process is split into two passes - the first pass in
the evaporator isolates the Terpenes from the cannabinoids and
the second pass removes the lipids, impurities and solvents leaving product with an odorless high value
clear distillate. The distillation process creates a distillate that can produce a fine oil used for cartridges,
tinctures or edibles. Utilizing this WFE system offers high-capacity, high-production operations with
fast, efficient molecule of botanical oils without thermal degradation. We have identified the most
prominent WFE manufacturer and have purchased model number … from … manufacture ….
Main Features:
• Continuous feed
• Low processing temperatures
• Ideal for high-volume production

Production Forecast
For the purposes of this plan, we will assume that a 10 lbs. of dried materials will yield about 0.35 lbs. of
high-quality pure extractions.
We intend to start with 0.0 pounds of material per day for first month and increase on 0.0 pound more
during next months until reaching 0.0 pounds per day.

Main Ratios
The return on equity ratio (ROE) measures how much the owner and investors earn for their
investment in the company. The higher the ratio percentage, the better return is. In general, financial
analysts consider return on equity ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive levels of
investment quality. As we can see ROE (DuPont) for our project is higher and draw up 32%.
Return on assets (ROA) gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate
earnings.
Profitability ratios are a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to generate
earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a specific period of time.
