China: 2019 Hemp Annual Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

While two provinces have implemented regulations that allow production for Cannabidiol (CBD) under strict control in recent years, CBD production remains illegal in the rest of the country. While there is considerable market potential for U.S. exporters, significant regulatory challenges first need to be addressed.
