PRODUCE AND PROCESS

THE COOPERATIVE MODEL: Production, Processing and Marketing are core elements for the economic balance of LA CHANVRIERE. The key strengths in our company are our market intelligence, our production skills, our farmers’ know-how and our cooperative model.

CONFIDENCE: If hemp production can be done in other French regions, our farmers know that their expertise should result in the production of quality seeds and straw and that they can be processed into products that will satisfy our customers’ faith in their diverse and demanding markets.

SUSTAINABILITY: our customers know that our cooperative is committed to its Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility policy and is a business that they can trust.

QUALITY: our customers consider that our products are at the top of the quality ladder and know that they are benchmarks in their markets.

CONSISTENCY: our customers recognize that our business is responsive, consistent and dependable for their supplies. These values are considered to be a performance guarantee from LA CHANVRIERE.

EXPERTISE: The farmers use certified seeds with a THC content of <0.2%, which is lower than the THC content imposed by other countries. They have learnt the best agricultural techniques to obtain optimal yields. This means that LA CHANVRIERE can handle 50% of the hemp production in France and 30% in Europe. The farmers are bound by five-year agreements for producing straw, with payment linked to quality: an exception in Europe that ensures the raw material for our processing plant, and guarantees a regular supply of finished or semi-finished products to our customers. The farmers cultivate various types of soil, using methods of Biodiversity and Ecosystems: no pesticides and no irrigation. They have a cooperative model, a processing plant equipped with the latest machinery, with the determination to achieve the best potential and to produce in accordance with our customers’ specifications. They sell finished or semi-finished products by processing their raw material in a single, mechanical decorticator that preserves the naturalness of the hemp. They also are involved in research and innovation that makes their plot of land the point of origin for products that are used or will be used by their customers.
