Hemp 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan

Cultivated hemp is registered in southern Kazakhstan

Hemp of Indian origin was first registered as a crop in southern Kazakhstan in 1926 and was harvested for fibre until 1950. Where the wild cannabis of the Chu valley came from is unclear; one account credits traders on the Silk Road.[1]
