Thailand has the advantage of turning hemp and cannabis into cash crops as it has built a comprehensive process of developing products from the plants. Labs and factories have been set up to extract substances from the two plants for use in consumer products. With a fairly large local market, businesses entering the industry can be assured of success. The government has set up the Thai Industrial Hemp Trade Association (TIHTA) to facilitate businesses entering the industry. The expo will also include a seminar titled the 2nd International Hemp Environmental Forum 2022 featuring 25 foreign experts.
