The U.S. hemp industry is looking to animal feed as a potential outlet for surplus biomass and processing byproducts, with research showing nutritional promise but cannabinoid residue concerns and fragmented regulation continuing to limit commercial uptake.
A European Commission proposal to lower maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides not authorised in the EU could restrict market access for African agricultural exporters, including Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco and Uganda. A Joint Research Centre study published in August examined the potential economic impact across 235 commodities and 86 exporting countries. Kenya has raised the issue at the WTO, warning of shipment rejections and income losses for smallholder farmers. The proposal remains under consideration by the European Parliament and Council.
