Our Mission

The Nebraska Hemp Industries Association works to create and increase opportunities for Nebraska hemp farmers, processors, manufacturers, and retailers through advocacy, education, partnerships, and leadership development. Advancing the hemp economy and educating the market for the benefit of our members, the public, and the planet.

The NEHIA and NEHIA Members:

• Educate the public about the exceptional attributes of hemp products.

• Facilitate the exchange of information and technology between hemp agriculturists, processors, manufacturers, distributors and retailers.

• Maintain and defend the integrity of hemp products.

• Advocate and support socially responsible and environmentally sound business practices.

Members of the NEHIA support ethical business practices, including accuracy in labeling, use of environmentally friendly technologies, sustainable and organic agriculture, high quality products and concern for human rights. It is the intention of the NEHIA to take all necessary steps to assure consumer confidence in hemp products. An NEHIA Member company agrees to the Association's standards. Display of the NEHIA Membership insignia in business promotion and advertising is a mark of prestige.

Strength in Numbers

The NEHIA wants to make your experience in the hemp industry as profitable and problem-free as possible. Each new business that joins also increases the HIA's ability to work on behalf of the industry as a whole and to act on behalf of its individual members. Because of the support from our membership, we have been able to fund other value-added services.
