In this short podcast segment, the speaker highlights that hemp is not recognized as a tradable agricultural commodity like corn or soybeans, meaning farmers lack established market mechanisms such as co‑ops to obtain reliable pricing. This absence of a structured market undermines investor confidence; investors are seeking a stable, credible supply chain before committing capital. The speaker suggests that investors are waiting for the development of such market infrastructure to provide the stability they require.

At this point, hemp is barely recognized as even an agricultural product. And when you think about corn or soybeans or something along those lines, that is a traded agricultural commodity. Farmer can take their product down to the local co-op and get market value for that. There isn't anything that exists like that for hemp. Investors are looking for stability. They want to see a market that's stable, that is backed by an entire supply chain of credibility and stability. And so that's, I think, what investors are waiting for is something like that to happen.
