Description:Hemp OZ Fund stands as the first and only Opportunity Zone Fund dedicated specifically to the Industrial Hemp sector on a global scale. Following the legalization of Industrial Hemp in the United States in December 2018, after more than 80 years of prohibition, numerous investment opportunities have emerged. The international Hemp industry has already demonstrated considerable growth, particularly in Europe, where over 13 million vehicles currently incorporate Hemp in their manufacturing.
In the United States, automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly exploring the potential of Hemp fiber composites as a means to enhance performance while simultaneously reducing carbon footprints. This serves as a prime example of how Industrial Hemp acts as a sustainable source of raw materials across a variety of sectors, boasting a total addressable market exceeding $15 trillion.
Nonetheless, a significant challenge facing the U.S. Hemp industry is the inadequate processing infrastructure. Hemp OZ Fund addresses this critical issue by leveraging both expertise and capital to establish Industrial Real Estate projects intended for Hemp processing facilities. This unique approach not only seeks to close the infrastructure gap but also positions the Hemp OZ Fund as a pioneering entity within the space.
A notable advantage of investing through the Hemp OZ Fund is its ability to cultivate investor capital in alignment with the projected growth of the Hemp industry, which is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34%. Furthermore, the fund offers investors a distinctive opportunity to hold these assets within a tax-free growth framework for the next 25 years. Through its commitment to advancing the Hemp industry and addressing infrastructure needs, Hemp OZ Fund stands at the forefront of this evolving market.
