There is no large USA supply chain for Hemp Hurd and Hemp Bast Fiber processing because there are presently only 4 decortication plant facilities in USA that include South Dakota, Montana, Missouri  and Kansas.  The consumer demand in North America is high for industrial hemp hurd and Hemp bast fiber products and  supply chains are still in their infancy. 

Hempblock products are imported from Canada, Europe and Australia because there is no Hemp Block Production Factory in USA.  processed hemp products required for manufacturing currently being imported.  At the heart of the problem is the lack of industrial hemp processing plants. While farmers are interested in growing the crop in many instances, specialized technologically-advanced hemp processing facilities are needed to produce high-value products. Currently, there is a production gap in connecting farmers with high-value markets, due to the lack of technological infrastructure available in the market.
