USDA Says Hemp Exports Not Covered in New Rules, but Might Be Addressed in Future

The Agriculture Department's Agricultural Marketing Service released new rules on domestic hemp production that do not contain regulations for exports, it said in a notice. "The 2018 Farm Bill allows for the interstate transportation" but "does not affect the exportation of hemp," it said. "Should there be sufficient interest in exporting hemp in the future, USDA will work with industry and other Federal agencies to help facilitate this process."
