The problemWith the 2018 Farm Bill creating a federal legal framework for hemp, federal and state regulators must determine how to manage the cultivation and sale of hemp and hemp-derived CBD products. Similar in appearance and smell to marijuana, hemp is nearly indistinguishable from its sibling plant and can only be differentiated through lab testing. Regulators need to know who is growing hemp, where and what hemp products are being produced, and where hemp-derived CBD is being used in consumer products. This discourages bad actors from using hemp as a pathway for illicit activity and allows authorities to remove unsafe products before they impact public health. |
SICPATRACE® for Hemp provides regulators with visibility into the hemp supply chain from cultivation to sale. At the cultivation level, SICPATRACE® provides entity and harvest registration leveraging batch and lot tracking consistent with common agricultural practices to assist governments in identifying and managing large scale hemp cultivation.
For CBD-derived from hemp that is intended for consumer products, SICPATRACE® provides more detailed traceability down to the individual product unit to facilitate visibility in movements and inventory and ensure all CBD products are sourced from licensed producers and can be quickly recalled in the event of a public health concern.
