The Limpopo Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (LDARD) has taken a major step in developing the province’s hemp and cannabis sector. Today, MEC Nakedi Kekana handed over hemp seeds to 15 farmers at the LDARD headquarters in Polokwane, marking a practical intervention to unlock the economic potential of industrial hemp. The initiative aims to expand opportunities in fibre, textiles, construction, food products, pharmaceuticals, and other value-added markets while supporting emerging growers and agricultural diversification.
