From seed to export: one integrated cycle

All stages at one site in Navoi Region: cultivation, harvesting, retting, decortication, advanced processing, quality control and shipment. Click a stage to see the details.

Stage 01 of 06

Cultivation

Licensed varieties with THC < 0.2% under precision center-pivot irrigation.

Variety: Cannabis sativa Hybrid 01. The land in Kiziltepa District, low in organic matter and saline in places, was prepared over three years: mineral nutrition, irrigation and agrochemical monitoring. Industrial hemp yields a harvest where traditional crops are not profitable, and it is grown without pesticides. Every year before harvesting, the crop is tested for THC content by the authorized bodies.

Stalk economics

One stalk — two value streams

After decortication, the stalk is split into two product streams — a zero-waste model in which both generate revenue.

~20%

Bast fiber → textiles

  • Degumming — softer, lighter, cleaner
  • Cottonization — 30–50 mm staple length for blending with cotton
  • Packed in uniform bales, ~10.5 t per 40-ft container
~80%

Hurd → composites

  • Molded pallets — 2 × 1,600 t pressing line, from Q4 2026
  • Board materials — under development
  • Hempcrete, acoustic and thermal insulation
  • Bioenergy
Processing capacity

Production capacity

Full-cycle processing at one site: decortication → deep processing → pallet pressing. Power supply — a 1,000 kW transformer.

Decortication
~3.5–4 t/h

Two lines with a combined capacity of ~3.5–4 t of raw material per hour; the stalk is split into fiber and hurd.

Cottonization
30–50 mm

Cottonin staple — fiber ready for spinning together with cotton.

Pallet pressing
2 × 1,600 t

Molded pallets made from hurd — the end product of the composites line.
