About IHS
Since 2014, International Hemp Solutions has been building a global infrastructure to pioneer the growth of the U.S. industrial hemp market. IHS's mission is to work with growers and operators to determine the variety of hemp they wish to produce and to provide them with proven-to-perform, certified seed, so they can offer the highest quality commercial product to the growing hemp industry.
In 2017, through its subsidiary, Bija Hemp, IHS became the first U.S. company in history to import "farm bill compliant" industrial hemp seed into the United States. This intercontinental shipment involved 30 metric tons of bulk seed procured from the Ukraine, transported to Germany, and airlifted into Denver, Colorado. By aligning with innovative partners, IHS services all facets of industrial hemp: seed acquisition, acclimatization and propagation, certification programs across the U.S., genetic bioinformatics, consultation, harvesting, distribution, and processing and manufacturing for commercial uses.
