Peru’s Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) has opened a 90-day public consultation on draft regulations to implement Law No. 32195, the framework for industrial h**p adopted late last year. The draft rules detail how h**p licenses, oversight, and compliance will be handled.
For Peru, the opening of public consultation is a significant milestone. But for investors and potential producers, the wait continues—underscoring the cautious, deliberate pace of h**p’s arrival in the country.
The consultation marks the latest step in a process that began in mid-2022, when Congressman Luis Angel Aragón Carreño of Acción Popular introduced a bill to exempt h**p from Peru’s narcotics law. That proposal envisioned a wide-ranging program under a 1.0% THC ceiling, legalizing all parts of the plant and permitting h**p’s use in food, cosmetics, packaging, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction materials, and animal feed.
