Key points
- Hemp yields four product families at once: fibre textiles, seed foods, extracts, and cosmetics.
- Hemp bast fibre is among the strongest natural fibres — ideal for durable, breathable textiles.
- Hemp seed (bhango) is a complete protein rich in omega-3 and omega-6.
- Nepal's craft weaving tradition and Himalayan provenance are premium differentiators for export.
Fibre: textiles, rope, and paper
Hemp bast fibre is among the strongest natural fibres. It makes durable, breathable textiles that soften with wear, plus rope, canvas, and specialty paper. Nepal's hand-weaving tradition gives Nepali hemp fabric a craft story mass-produced textiles can't copy — a natural premium export.
Seed: bhango foods and oil
Hemp seed (भाङ्गो) is a complete protein rich in omega-3 and omega-6. It is eaten whole and roasted, ground into flour, pressed into cold-pressed cooking and finishing oil, and blended into foods. In Nepal it needs no introduction — hill kitchens have used it for generations.
Extracts: CBD and wellness
From hemp flowers, CBD extraction supplies tinctures, topicals, and cosmetics — a licensed, lab-tested category worldwide. Paired with Nepal's ayurvedic formulation tradition, extracts become medicinal oils and therapeutic blends with a genuinely Nepali identity.
Cosmetics and beyond
Hemp seed oil's fatty-acid profile makes it a strong base for soaps, creams, and hair care. Further afield, hemp finds use in bio-composites, insulation ('hempcrete'), and animal feed — categories that grow as supply matures.
Himalaya Cannabis is building five of these families — textiles, seed foods, CBD wellness, ayurvedic formulations, and cosmetics — on one licensed, lab-tested Himalayan supply chain. See our products page for current status.
Common questions
- What products are made from hemp?
- Textiles, rope, and paper from the fibre; foods and cold-pressed oil from the seed (bhango); CBD wellness products from the flowers; and soaps and cosmetics from the seed oil.
- Is hemp seed oil the same as CBD oil?
- No. Hemp seed oil is a food oil pressed from seeds and contains no meaningful cannabinoids. CBD oil is an extract from the plant's flowers and leaves and falls under cannabis licensing rules.
