MiHI
(Movers in Hemp Innovation)

MiHI was bought together as a collaboration of Māori enterprises and some non-Māori enterprises to identify the potential for collaborative investment in hemp and medicinal cannabis production.

While the group has no formal structure it is currently looking into taking a shareholding stake in an established vertically integrated hemp food business (from land to brand). The aim is to eventually utilise the whole hemp plant for fibre, food and nutraceuticals.

With global retail hemp product sales of $3.7 billion in 2018 from a plant with 25,000 known uses, primarily food, fibre and medicine, industrial production of hemp is viewed as an attractive emerging crop.
