Right. As a licensed cultivator of hemp, we have to apply for a licence every year, as do all the farmers who grow hemp and all the processors we can sell to. We can't sell our hemp seed or our hemp grain except to processors or buyers who also have a Health Canada licence. We apply every year for a Health Canada licence.
Today, under the industrial hemp regulations, we cannot collect the buds, the trichomes, the leaf bracts, or the flowers of the hemp plant because they tend to contain a higher level of any cannabinoids, whether it's THC or CBD.
The challenge that has created is that we're already producing a lot of CBD on our farm. We have phytosanitary standards. Plus, as a certified organic producer, we have a number of inspections and certifications, and we have to adhere to a number of standards and processes.
The hemp crop we grew on our farm this year produced likely in the area of 10,000 kilograms of CBD, but we had to spread it on the ground as chaff. We're prohibited under the industrial hemp regulations from harvesting the portion of the hemp plant that contains the CBD.
