Paragon Processing's new facility in Colorado City.
As Bloomberg reported recently, when the December 2018 farm bill legalized the production and interstate transfer of hemp, it helped make hemp-based CBD—or, cannabidiol—products extremely popular, creating a broad selection of CBD-based consumer products from cosmetics to pet care.
The CBD market, the article claims, could surpass $20 billion by 2022.
As this demand increases, so will the abundance of hemp farming. In fact, we're already witnessing this surge: hemp farming has outpaced processing.
Unfortunately, this has led some labs to make inaccurate claims about their capacity, and others to subcontract with third party processors to process their customers' biomass. Many farmers are left with fewer processing options and a growing distrust in the transparency of the hemp processing industry.
Meeting That Demand, Restoring Trust
With its purchase of a former logistics facility in Colorado City, Colo., Paragon Processing brings to this growing industry an industrial-scale hemp storage and CBD processor solution.
The 250K square foot facility is located on approximately 38 acres with more than 1,900 feet of I-25 frontage. The property has excellent interstate access and 13 dock-high loading positions.
