Building the Hemp Economy
The South African hemp industry presents significant economic opportunities, but small-scale farmers face challenges in securing funding, accessing training, and reaching global markets. AHCSA was founded to bridge this gap by providing farmers with essential support, infrastructure, and guaranteed sales channels.
AHCSA operates as a vertically integrated consortium, meaning we coordinate all aspects of the supply chain—from seed production and farm management to processing and international sales.
AHCSA’s Structure & Strategy
A farmer-focused development model that ensures direct farmer participation in the hemp value chain that includes a company ownership stake for farmers.
A technical support arm that provides training, infrastructure, and logistics to ensure successful cultivation.
A robust supply chain that connects farmers to processing hubs and markets.
Leadership & Team
Our leadership includes agricultural innovators, policy experts, international hemp market specialists, and experienced farmers.
By combining scientific and agricultural expertise with traditional farming knowledge, we create a balanced and effective approach to hemp farming in South Africa.
BEE & Economic Empowerment
Agri Hemp South Africa is more than 51% black-owned, ensuring that the economic benefits of hemp production are directed towards historically disadvantaged communities.
Our model focuses on:
✔️ Job creation & skills development in rural areas
✔️ Fair profit-sharing structures for farmers
✔️ Increasing long-term wealth for local farming communities
