Becoming an Industrial Hemp Producer

The first step in becoming an Industrial Hemp producer in Canada is obtaining a cultivation license from Health Canada. Click the link below to access their application guide.

To find the GPS coordinates of your cultivation site (field) required by Health Canada please visit Earth Explorer, Google Earth or MAFRI AgriMaps.


Once you have obtained a license to cultivate it is a good idea to find an end market for your crop before planting. If you are interested in a grain production contract with PIHG please contact our office directly at 204.629.HEMP or office@pihg.net for all the details.
