Hemp, also called hemp, is native to Asia and is one of the oldest hemp crops. my country is the country with the longest history of growing hemp. Hemp is abundant in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the mother river of my country, which is the Central Plains region of ancient China. Together with flax in the northeast and ramie in the southwest, it is known as the "source of national textiles and the ancestor of clothing for thousands of years." Hemp is the toughest on the earth. The fiber requires only a small amount of water and fertilizer to grow, does not require any pesticides, and can be decomposed naturally, making it an environmentally friendly crop. In Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, people call it Xian Ma; in Anhui, people call it Han Ma; in Guangxi, people call it Hemp; in Yunnan, people call it Yun Ma; in Xinjiang, people call it Marijuana; In Henan, people call it Kui Ma; we now collectively call it Han Ma (china-hemp), which is also the transliteration of the English "hemp".
Hemp bast fiber can replace cotton, hemp rod core can be used to make paper, produce cotton viscose fiber, wood plastic building materials and furniture, car interiors, activated carbon, etc. Hemp roots can produce biofuels , used to generate electricity and live energy. Hemp seeds can produce high-grade edible oil and extract protein powder. They are good health care products and can also be used to produce cosmetics, paints, inks, etc. Hemp leaves and flowers can be used in pharmaceuticals. Treat many difficult diseases, such as glaucoma, asthma, stroke sequelae, cancer chemotherapy, AIDS wasting, etc.
Hemp fiber is moisture-wicking, strong and wear-resistant, anti-static, deodorant, sun-proof and UV-proof. It has many unique properties that are unmatched by other fibers. Hemp fiber has high yield and is easy to plant. The economic benefits of growing cotton are good, and there are no international quota restrictions on hemp products, which can improve the market competitiveness of the textile industry and adjust the product structure of the textile industry.
Hemp clothing has gradually gained popularity due to its unique properties. The market demand in developed countries has increased by more than 30% annually, and the domestic market has the same trend. Hemp has the advantages of higher strength, no wrinkles, no itching, hygroscopicity, better antibacterial and UV protection functions. At the same time, since the European Union and other countries have no import restrictions on hemp clothing, there is broad room for the export of hemp clothing.
The development and industrialization of hemp have received strong support from the state. The wood, cotton, ramie, and crude oil that hemp can replace are all heavily dependent on imports. In addition, planting 10 million acres can also drive nearly 10 million people. Farmers get rid of poverty and become rich. The research and industrialization of innovative technologies for comprehensive utilization of hemp are in line with the central government’s overall requirements for enhancing independent innovation capabilities, building an innovative country, building a resource-saving, environment-friendly society, and building a new socialist countryside. There is a very broad space for the industrialization of hemp, especially hemp textile and hemp straw processing.
As the research force of the hemp development project, the "Military Hemp Material Research Center" of the General Logistics Military Equipment Research Institute has comprehensively launched research on the comprehensive utilization technology of hemp, and has formed and planned From breeding, planting, primary processing to fiber R&D and processing, as well as multiple industrial chains such as chemical industry, papermaking, viscose, automobile interiors, new building materials, composite materials, energy, health food, etc., more than 10 sets of processing equipment have been successfully developed and have been declared It is planned to apply for more than 20 national patents. The finished products developed by famous domestic enterprises such as Huayu Feiteng International Company, Youngor Clothing Company, etc. are selling well at home and abroad.
In addition, hemp seeds can be used to extract biodiesel, hemp roots can produce various biofuels, and hemp leaves can extract medicine... Hemp is a "treasure" all over the body. So far, hemp has formed 14 industries ranging from agricultural planting, rough processing, fiber processing, chemical industry, paper making, viscose, wood plastics, automobile interiors, new building materials, composite materials, food health care, medicine, activated carbon, biodiesel, etc. In the industrial chain of the industry, 15 sets of processing equipment have been successfully developed, 24 invention patents have been applied for or are planned to be applied for, and more than 3,000 products are available.
At present, only three countries in the world, China, Canada, and Germany, have mastered the development and utilization technology of hemp fiber. China's research and development results are at the leading level in the world.
