Due to the positive response to Astika’s entrance into the Industrial Hemp sector to grow the Company’s agriculture initiatives and revenues, Mark Richards, the director for Astika Holdings commented, “the Hemp initiative runs parallel with Astika’s "Green Future" objectives with the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy which meets the requirement of agriculture modernization in China, performs a multi-function agriculture process which reduces the utilization of tractors, lowers the associated costs, increases the yield, uses less fertilization, decreases pollution and protects the environment."

Hemp requires little to no pesticides, no herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, produces oxygen and can be used to replace many potentially harmful products, such as tree paper (the processing of which uses chlorine bleach, which results in the waste product polychlorinated dioxins, which are carcinogenic, and contribute to deforestation, cosmetics, and plastics, most of which are petroleum-based and do not decompose easily. Hemp produces 4 times the raw material than trees for paper making and can be planted between 1-3 times a season, depending on location, be recycled up to 10 times, compared to 3 or 4 times for wood pulp paper. The same hemp fiber products from a hemp harvest provides raw-materials for products such as, paper, textiles, building materials, industrial materials, foods, cosmetics and a host of other sustainable Green products.

With China as the single largest supplier of US imports of raw and processed hemp fiber, Astika focused its agriculture plans in the high-profile Industrial Hemp sector in China and New Zealand where the opportunity is available to generate revenues. The 2012 Annual Retail Sales for Hemp Report, estimates the total US retail value of hemp products in 2012 was nearly $500 million (The Hemp Industries Association or "HIA"). Astika believes that China will continue to have influence on Hemp market prices, year-to-year profits of producers and processors in other countries.
