Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF) (FRANKFURT: GHG) is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with base operations in Montreal and Los Angeles. The Company was founded in 2014 and is focused on a multi-phased strategy to build a strong presence in the industrial hemp industry in both Canada and the United States.
The first phase of this strategy is to develop hemp cultivation for the extraction of cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN & CBC) and creating a near term revenue stream that will allow the Company to expand and develop successive phases of the strategy. Under this first phase of the strategy, the Company has begun cultivating hemp at projects in New Brunswick, Canada and Oregon, in the United States.
The second phase of the plan will focus on the development of value-added industrial products utilizing the processing of the whole hemp plant, as envisioned in the Company’s Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) strategy.
The Company is focused on acquiring and/or joint venturing with companies across all sectors of the industrial hemp industries in an effort to build a “soil-to-shelf” portfolio of complementary companies and joint venture partners. There is a perfect storm on the horizon for the hemp industry, as there is significant economic need for increased job creation and tax revenue in most countries around the world, along with a strong demand for sustainable technologies, low carbon footprint housing, highly nutritional food and effective medicines without side effects. Industrial hemp can provide many of these necessary solutions. By vertically integrating the supply chain, the Company can be focused on efforts that will enable it to capture cash flow, revenues and value from its acquisitions and establish a far greater collective valuation than GHG or the individual companies would have on their own.

ONE WORLD, ONE PLANT
There is only one plant on earth that can provide food, clothing, building materials, fuel and medicine. Hemp could potentially be the most industrially usable biomass that can be produced over the shortest growth cycle, utilizing the least amount of water, nutrients and pesticides, while sequestering the greatest level of carbon. It is one of the few plants on earth that can be grown commercially almost anywhere in the world.
HEMP AGRO-INDUSTRIAL ZONE
The Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) is an optimization concept that grew out of GHG’s efforts to carve a niche of its own in the spectrum of hemp industries. It seeks to build cooperative mechanisms between capital, farmers and labor, and across industrial sectors, focused on different parts of the hemp plant, to produce greater social and environmental benefits with substantial financial reward to capital.
The GHG team is developing a diverse portfolio of projects that take advantage of the disruptive potential of industrial hemp. The ultimate goal is to provide value to shareholders on a consistent basis while making the transition of providing clean technologies, effcient processing and quality manufacturing to the world. Management recognizes the immediate need to develop and maintain environmentally friendly business practices and believes that this exceptional plant is the key.
