Hemp, which took root in Anatolia thousands of years ago, has continued to evolve on Earth for more than 10,000 years since the beginning of agriculture. In ancient times, this plant, carrying the traces of manual labor with its fibers and ropes, occasionally became a source of inspiration for the textile world. It was also used as medicine in health in the past. Hemp is not just a plant grown in fields; it has also become an industrial treasure that has attracted the attention of the industry.

While its fibers inspire the magical embroideries of weaving looms, its seeds carry the sprouts of a sustainable future when they meet the soil. With the European Green Deal and our country's participation in the Paris Climate Agreement, the search for sustainable and renewable resources has accelerated worldwide. The reduction of the carbon footprint and the efficient use of water have increased the global value of hemp.

Research conducted in 1996 showed that the amount of narcotic substances produced by industrial hemp was decreasing. During this period, there was a significant evolution in products related to hemp. In our country, hemp regained interest with the update of the Hemp Regulation in 2016. The KENEVİRO brand aims to make significant contributions to our country's economy by conducting serious R&D studies related to hemp. The KENEVİRO company, established under the leadership of Uğur Balkuv, one of Turkey's leading industrialists, is becoming a pioneer in the Turkish hemp sector. Having started investments and harvesting in 2022, KENEVİRO has moved to industrial production with 2 years of planting experience.

KENEVİRO produces high value-added materials from hemp with its investments in the Central Black Sea region and carries the mission of offering these products to manufacturers worldwide. The company has established its leading position in the industry with the leadership of agricultural engineers, investments in state-of-the-art agricultural machinery, and logistics. The hemp fiber and yarn factory, located in the Samsun Havza region with a 30,000 m² indoor area, aims to produce intermediate products for textiles and various sectors, thereby accelerating the growth of farmers. The raw material obtained from 30,000 decares of land within 3 years will be processed and evaluated in the KENEVİRO factory. KENEVİRO, one of the leading organized industrial factories in the region, has especially become the assurance of farmers and has enabled them to look forward to the future with hope. With the awareness that hemp is very important for Turkish agriculture and industry, it aims to lead the cultivation and processing of this product in Turkey's agriculture and industry on hundreds of thousands, even millions more decares. We wish it to be auspicious and prosperous for our country.
