Industry Challenges
Infrastructure
Farmers are eager to plant, but processors are not established.
Inconsistency
The leading “pain point” expressed by end users is lack of consistency.
Facility Design
There has been lackluster performance using existing methods and equipment.
Energy Intensive
Cultivation for fiber is mostly eco-friendly. However, existing processing methods are energy intensive.
Funding
Processing fiber has a relatively large capital expenditure when compared to oilseed and botanical markets.
Legality
Passage of the 2018 US Farm Bill was monumental. Yet, issues with banking still need to be resolved.
Consulting Services
Cultivation
How you grow is highly dependent on the segment for which you are marketing to. Fiber, grain, botanical extraction, and craft flower each have entirely different practices.
Harvesting
What you will grow and therefore harvest has more to do with your operations than which markets you are interested in pursuing. We're here to help you succeed.
Marketing
As with any new crop there will be plenty of speculators, and processors who have growing pains. We will assist you in not only having a contract in place, but a contingency plan.
Processing
We will assist you in making informed decisions for equipment and business models based on the end market and level of vertical integration you want to achieve.
