Makes sense. Turkey is right next to Ukraine and both are top 6 producers of hemp in the world. However, its one of those where the 2-6 combined is only around 6k tons vs #1, China at 24k tons. If Bill were to pop up in China, then I might lose my shit.

Hemp production in tonnes 2003–2004
FAOSTAT (FAO)
China 23000 79 % 24000 79 %
France 4300 15 % 4300 14 %
Chile 1250 4 % 1250 4 %
Russia 200 1 % 300 1 %
Turkey 150 1 % 150 < 1%
Ukraine 150 1 % 150 < 1%
FYI, guess which top Ag country is not on the Hemp list. That's right
Thing is, China is a top ag country, but they use it internally. 1.5 B people, 5x the pop of the US, will do that. So top producing and exporting ag countries below.

(This is for overall, corn etc.. but shows potential.)
Exports (in billions)
United States $118.3
Netherlands $79
Germany $70.8
France $68
Brazil $55.4
