Hemp New Zealand

What Hemp New Zealand does

Hemp New Zealand (Hemp NZ™) is a privately-held, New Zealand-based hemp products company founded in 2008. It operates an integrated supply chain spanning cultivation, harvesting, processing, and distribution of hemp-derived food ingredients, industrial fibre materials, skincare products, and medicinal CBD. The company manages a portfolio of sub-brands — Hemp Farm® (foods and nutritional supplements), Promise® (natural skincare), Rubisco Natural Fibres (fibre, yarn, non-wovens), and Carbon Valley (sustainable industrial materials) — and works with a grower network across five regions on the North and South Island.

The company's product lines fall into three categories: bulk hemp food ingredients (hulled hemp seeds, hemp seed oil, hemp protein powder/flour) supplied to manufacturers, distributors, consumer brands, and the hospitality industry; industrial hemp fibre and hurd materials for textiles, packaging, horticulture, animal care, and construction, produced through the NZ Natural Fibres partnership; and medicinal CBD products developed via international R&D collaborations. Distribution is split between B2B bulk sales with contact-based pricing and direct-to-consumer retail through the hempfarm.co.nz online store.

Hemp New Zealand generates revenue across five streams: bulk hemp food ingredient sales, D2C retail products, industrial hemp fibre materials, Promise® skincare, and medicinal CBD. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with bulk orders priced on application. The company self-describes as the largest premium hemp food ingredients supplier in New Zealand, though no revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed in available sources.
