Functional Marketing
Perception, low consumer awareness and price are all barriers to marketing hemp foods
By Martine Carlina
The marketing of hemp for the functional foods, nutraceutical, and dermaceutical markets faces great challenges. Although the functional foods market represents a $561.2 million industry in Canada, and is growing at a rate of 11% annually in the US, hemp is still relatively unknown to this marketplace.
One significant challenge in marketing of Canadian hempseed and its derivatives is its perceived instability. In the days before legalisation in Canada most hemp oilseed was imported either in oil form or as sterilised grain from China. There was really no way to determine the freshness of the product. Both long transport times and sterilisation of grain were contributing factors to product rancidity. This has presented a definite hurdle in marketing Canadian grown and processed hempseed oil on a retail level. Many early buyers of these products were forced to bear the costs associated with rancid product. Inconsistent or high THC levels on imported hemp also plagued many large manufacturers eager to add hemp to their products. I have run across a number of companies who now demonstrate little confidence with hempseed oil because of these issues.
The second challenge of marketing hemp foods is the low level of consumer awareness of their benefits. Most consumers simply have difficulty associating hemp with food. Although marketers of hemp foods are doing significant work, merchandising and advertising capabilities still represent a weak link when compared to the work of other natural foods and nutraceutical companies. One reason for this is that many of these companies, although innovators, are marketing their first products and are undercapitalised to do so effectively.
Canadian labelling standards also make it very difficult to market the highly valued components of the product like Omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids, and GLA. Marketers unable to advertise these valued components are hard pressed to educate consumers that hemp is a valuable supplement to their diets.
Marketing the benefits of these products requires direct consumer contact. This can be achieved by in-store demonstrations, which seek to educate the consumer and retailer alike that hemp is a legitimate and quality component of the functional food and nutraceutical market.
The third and most formidable aversion to the development of hemp foods is price. Although a significant amount of hemp is being grown in Canada, seed prices remain high. We are now entering our third year of hemp production and prices are dropping yearly; these high costs translate directly to the uneducated consumer. Because of price it has become quite difficult to use a large amount of hemp in any product without the consumer understanding its benefits — therefore many companies use so little hemp in their products use so little that the benefits represent a moot point.
Although challenges exist in the ability to market hemp foods, educated consumers have demonstrated allegiance to the products. Hemp foods companies and suppliers alike are working fast and furious to educate, promote, and develop products that will benefit both the consumer and Canadian farmers alike.

Hemp Shorts
Don't hold onto your shorts! Do you have a new product, an announcement or some great news that you would like to share with the rest of the industry? It could be a great Hemp Short! Let the HCFR know about it... contact hcfr@sasktel.netwith your info.
a) First Canadian grown and woven hemp textiles are now on the market.
The Hemp Club/Chanvre en Ville is now selling the first Canadian grown and woven hemp textiles. With yarn manufactured and supplied by hemp grower and processor Hempline, and then spun and woven in Quebec by fabric designer Jane Wheeler of Rose Textiles in her mill outside of Montreal, the result is an eye catching array of blankets and hammocks.
The natural-looking fabrics blend hemp with a number of fibres including cotton and mohair. With up to 45% hemp content, the textiles are available in hemp/cotton/polyester, hemp/wool/cotton/and hemp/cotton/mohair/polyester blends.
According to The Hemp Club/Chanvre en Ville's Larry Duprey, the mohair used in the weaving will soon be "hemp grown"; that is, it will come from angora sheep, fed on hempseed.
Some polyester (5-10%) has also been used as a binder with the hemp yarn. According to Duprey, the polyester is necessary to include at this point as "either the yarn is not of a quality or the spinning is not good enough yet" to avoid doing so.
The fabrics are available by the metre, and are suitable for any household uses, including blankets, bed coverings, pillows curtains and carpets. "The blankets are a display of what is possible," says Duprey, who points out that up to thirty designs — including 20 jaquard weave designs and 10 dobby weave designs — have been produced so far.
This is only the beginning; with the advent of even more processed fibres, many more sophisticated textiles will produced in Canada.
The demand and interest for these items so far is pleasing Duprey: " I took 40 pieces to Santa Cruz Hemp Fest and sold them all at between $120-$150 US in less then 10 hours."
Larry Duprey has been appointed Hemp Sales agent for Rose Textiles hemp production and looks forward to handling all inquiries. Reach him at thehempclubthc@hotmail.com

b) Fiber Ethics Magazine launches
Fiber Ethics Magazine — a publication dedicated to helping retailers unravel and understand the explosion of "ethical fabrics" — will have its official global launch on July 1st.
The print sister of the successful e-publication Fiber Ethics Online ( www.fiberethics.com ) Fiber Ethics Magazine will deliver quarterly industry analysis, product reviews and targeted advice to a wide variety of retailers buying products made from such materials as flax, hemp, organic wools, kenaf, organic cottons, and recycled synthetic fibers.
"For too long these industries have developed separately," says David Redwood, editor of Fiber Ethics Magazine. "Buyers who've tried to meet the customer demand out there for these socially-conscious fibers have expressed the need for a comprehensive information source. Fiber Ethics Magazine brings these different materials under one banner."
Randy Mugford, president of publisher HPI Group, says, "The goal is to provide a platform for businesses, especially small- and mid-sized socially responsible ones, to get the message out that business and environmental and social responsibility can, and do, co-exist."
New technologies are literally blending these renewable materials together. Combined with the spending power of a socially-conscious consumer base estimated at over 45 million in the United States alone, there is clearly a motive for more and more manufacturers to adopt healthier, cleaner and sustainable fabrics.
Fiber Ethics Magazine sheds light on the latest opportunities and challenges the industry faces. Most of all the magazine provides retailers with the latest in product development, styles and technical information.
Fiber Ethics Magazine is published in Nova Scotia, Canada by HPI Group. For subscriptions call 1-800-330-9117. For advertising information or for a copy of Fiber Ethics Magazine call Laurie Scott at (902) 634-8131. (Please note: bolded numbers will become active on July 1st).

c) OhMega!
Humboldt Hemp Foods of Whitethorne, California is has announced their new "OhMega!" chips, the original shelled hempseed chip. OhMega! is made with organically grown blue corn, The HempNut brand hulled hempseed, safflower oil and sea salt.
"Our current OhMega! Hemp Chips are organic except for the HempNut, " says Humboldt Hemp Foods' Lenda Hand: "We are working with a new manufacturer as we speak that will certify our chips as organic now that the organic HempNut is available. Soon we'll be certified organic."
The chips are billed as "Nature's Source of Omega 3 and Omega 6"; the packaging also provides some cross marketing, having logos from HempNut Inc., Hemp Food Association and Hemp Industries Association.
Some of the other foods available from Humboldt Hemp Foods include "Sumativa" a certified organic, Sumatra/hempseed coffee blend, and Lenda Hand's "Dessert First!" line: organic cake mixes that come in four flavours (soon to be available as certified organic as well.)
HHF Foods is also known for their support of deep ecology oriented direct action groups. Throughout the entire Luna Treesit, 25 cents from every pound of Sumativa sold went directly to word famous treesitter Julia Butterfly Hill. A portion of profits from Dessert First! and OhMega! chips are also donated to direct action.
By supporting direct action, Hand says that HHF hopes to help heighten awareness on issues pertaining to health of the forests and ecosystems and the use of hemp to end deforestation.
Cases of OhMega! (15 * 7.oz) are available to distributors. Consumers can purchase direct from Humboldt Hemp Foods on a single case basis. Bulk "Oh!Mega" chips are available upon inquiry. Or contact Mountain People's Distributing.

Association News
OHA officially up and running
By David Marcus, OHA
On June 15, 2000, the Ontario Hemp Alliance (OHA), with the establishment of its first official board of directors, is now officially up and running. This board will serve as an interim board until the OHA's inaugural general meeting, (September 12, 2000 in conjunction with Canada's Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ontario.) The OHA directors represent the interests of a diverse cross-section of Ontario's hemp industry, including processing, manufacturing, farming, research and community development.
Specifically, the OHA board of directors are: David Marcus (President), Jean Laprise (Vice-President), Larry Davis (Treasurer), Helmut Becker, Greg Herriot, Louise Hollingsworth, and Gordon Schiefele. Thanks go out to Chris Farrell, John Batt and Stuart Halliday for their efforts and perseverance in bringing the OHA to this point.
As an incorporated not-for-profit organisation, the Ontario Hemp Alliance is now positioned to fulfil its mandate to raise public awareness of hemp's uses and benefits and to facilitate the development of markets for hemp products. With matching funds from CanAdapt's Small Project Initiative, the OHA is pleased to announce that Louise Hollingsworth has been hired, and will be starting work July 4th, as the OHA's Executive Director. In addition, funds have been allocated for the further development of the OHA's web site (www.OntarioHempAlliance.org) and a quarterly newsletter. Both of these contracts are now officially out for tender. For more information on both of these opportunities, please visit the OHA web site.
With one successful public awareness project already accomplished (the hemp art show Renewal, held at Toronto's BCE Place April 16-26, 2000), the OHA has several more projects already in the works. The OHA will be co-hosts (with the Hemp Industries Association) of the Hemp Expo at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show, September 12-14, 2000. This year's augmented Hemp Expo will feature speakers and daily hemp demonstrations including hemp weaving, papermaking and oil pressing, as well as a hemp beer tent. Anyone interested in exhibiting should contact the OHA at info@OntarioHempAlliance.org.
Also being planned is an OHA-sponsored Hemp Seed Cookbook. Envisioned as an affordable guide to cooking with hemp and hempseed's nutritional benefits, this cookbook is hoped to be available for September 2000. Anyone with unique and tasty hemp recipes is invited to submit them for possible inclusion in theHemp Seed Cookbook. Again, please email any recipes, ideas or information requests to: info@OntarioHempAlliance.org

"Operation Ditchweed" Thanks to all HCFR readers who sent leads where to find wild hemp. Wonderful field work by many thoughtful people has produced some dazzling results fit for science and society. This valuable data has been passed on to the proper channels and all is cool. Let's have lots more please! This wild gene pool may be very important for future breeding of far north adaptable varieties. Each wild hemp location is different — we want them all to learn just how these diverse hemps thrive so well in such adverse conditions. If you know where authentic wild hemp grows, with all discretion please contact our civilian response team to arrange ripe seed collection. Every patch of ditchweed is a winner. And no, we don't sell wild hempseed but yes, we will pay for the real thing. For more information about the Autumn 2000 wild hempseed collection project contact Dr. Sumach, Hemp Futures Study Group, PO Box 1680, Niagara on the Lake Ontario, Canada, LOS IJO, 905 468 3928 rheading@becon.org or please leave an inquiry at the HFCR: arthurhanks@hotmail.com
PS: Health Canada reminds us that ditchweed cannabis program is not covered under the Industrial Hemp regulations. Wild hempseed will not be ripe until September — we are seeking where these stands might be arising. Proper permits will be in place at that point for retrieval as advertised.
