2.5 Schemes

Fibre hemp is defined as a fibre and oleaginous crop and as such it currently (2023) falls under the Eco scheme in some EU countries. Under such conditions, this is an additional payment on top of the basic premium. However, schemes change regularly; therefore it is recommended to check out applicable schemes through Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) authority in your country and/or through the buyer and/or cultivation supervisor.

Although hemp for textiles is in a transition from pilot to commercial scale-up, prices for long hemp (and flax) fibres are currently (2023) relatively high.
