Hemp-based CBD Industry Continues to Show Enormous Growth Potential

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
In a burgeoning market already worth north of $130 million in the United States alone according to the Hemp Business journal, major players in the hemp industry are focused on continued growth as progress is made in legislature, as well as in product development as key leaders are enhancing products and educating new consumer bases. A spokesman for Vote Hemp also estimated there are likely up to 100 hemp cannabidiol brands, as well as hundreds more growers and processors that focus on producing hemp-based CBD. Part of the reason for the massive growth is that many businesses find it's easier to simply purchase wholesale CBD extracts from another company that's taken care of the growing and extraction process, and then re-bottle oils and tinctures with their own brand. Demand for hemp-based cannabidiol has skyrocketed, especially since a 2013 CNN report about the success in Colorado of Charlotte's Web, a CBD product that helped a young epileptic girl control her seizures. Active in the industry on some level of production includes: Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), SugarMade Inc. ( SGMD

I feel this last event of the year (The Hemp Money Event: Economics, Lessons & Planning for 2018) has the strongest line-up of speakers and will be our biggest and best event of 2017 yet. Our line-up faculty of Mastery POD growers and farmers will be sharing not only their growing strategies, but also their vital mistakes, which are crucial for those individuals looking to get involved in growing industrial hemp."
According to Rainbolt, this particular educational event is designed to give attendees the 'final piece' of the 'Industrial Hemp Formula' to success. As noted under the coursework description, "The economics effects all phases of your business and is one of the main drivers of why we are involved. In addition, learning from our 2017 growers can save you thousands or maybe even save your business. Finally, with this new information, you can more accurately plan for the 2018 growing season."
"We hold these events to help landowners, farmers and entrepreneurs add a new viable and profitable income stream by maximizing their per-acre crop revenue and to create American jobs," said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. . "The industry's latest estimates predict the entire U.S. hemp industry could grow to $1.8 billion in sales by 2020, largely driven by hemp foods, body care and CBD-based products. North Carolina is starting to become a formidable player in the field, with some of the biggest influencers in the industry interested in this business. Those who win big in the industrial hemp industry are the ones who commit to nothing less than excellence and work together as a team and our industrial hemp educational symposiums are amazing vehicles to help foster this."
