SUGAR LAND, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2020 / Neutra Corp. (OTC PINK:NTRR) has applied for a hemp handling license in Texas, the first step towards legal cultivation and processing of its own hemp in the Lone Star state. It also puts Neutra closer to its long-term goal of becoming a vertically integrated company with grow, produce and distribute hemp and hemp-based CBD products without having to rely on any outside sources.
"We were online the moment the application portal opened," said Neutra CEO Sydney Jim. "This is a big development for us. Obtaining a license will greatly help us accelerate our ongoing vertical integration plan. Having a hemp source close to home will also enable us to speed production and get products to market much faster and cheaper."
The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) opened its online application portal March 16. The online portal will help speed application processing and approval versus the traditional method of mailing in an application. Application processing and approval is estimated to take up to 60 business days, the TDA states.
The TDA has been quite supportive of hemp production in Texas under current Commissioner Sid Miller. Miller said it "is a great victory for Texas" when the U.S. Agriculture Department approved the Texas Hemp Plan, opening the door to legalization of cultivation and processing of the crop.
Neutra has been preparing and working towards vertical integration. The company has a fresh influx of private equity funding. It's also looking to integrate technology into its CBD production efforts.
The CBD marketplace has taken off in the past few years. Consumers have discovered the many health benefits of hemp-based oils, lotions and supplements and have opened up their wallets to buy CBD products. As a result, some market analysts expect CBD product sales to reach an estimated $16 billion by 2026, up from just a little over $1 billion in 2018.
