Hemp Holding
One group, two companies, two separate share issues
You can invest in Hempland Sweden, in Hemp Innovations Botswana, or in both. The two are separate companies with their own share issues, terms and documents. They share the same founder, know-how and hemp value chain.

Investment 1
Hempland Sweden
Next generation superfood: roasted, flavoured hemp seeds grown on Gotland. CBD flowers are sold under B2B off-take contracts.
The company
From Gotland fields to Sweden's largest retail chains
Hempland created the category of roasted, flavoured hemp seeds in Scandinavia. The company controls the value chain from contract farming on Gotland and the mainland to processing, brand and sales. That gives it a structural cost advantage over brands that buy imported raw material.
Hulled hemp seeds contain 33% protein and 9% Omega-3, compared with 20% protein and 2% Omega-3 in salmon. They are naturally gluten free, fibre-rich and minimally processed.

Investment 2
Hemp Innovations Botswana
Botswana's first licensed hemp and cannabis company. It grows CBD, medical cannabis and hemp grains for export to Europe and the region.
First mover
The first cannabis licence ever issued in Botswana
Hemp Innovations Botswana (HIB) was formed in Q2 2025, after the President decided to start a new hemp and cannabis industry in Botswana. Under the Cannabis Act No. 20 of 2025, HIB became the first company selected for a licence. The pilot programme is complete and a feasibility study has been carried out.
- Off-take secured: a €2M CBD contract with EU off-takers, with 4 tons to be delivered in Q2 2027.
- Counter-season farming: harvests during the Nordic winter, with high sun exposure and lower cost per kilo.
- Government partnership: an agreement with NARDI, the government's industrial agri-tech arm, to scale up land.

Philanthropy · Hemp Innovations Botswana
One crop. Six returns for people and planet.
One hectare of hemp in Botswana can feed people, supply affordable medicine, employ women, store carbon and build homes, all from a single, legal, licensed crop. HIB is built as a whole-plant model, so every part of the plant carries its own measurable social or environmental return.
- Seed → Food & feedNutrition bars, flour and porridge, hemp oil and protein, and seed cake as livestock feed.
- Flower → HealCBD for wellness and epilepsy, medical cannabis for pain and palliative care, and export revenue.
- Stalk → Build & replaceHempcrete for homes and schools, hemp wood and fibre, biochar and cooking briquettes.
~30%protein in dehulled seed, with all 9 essential amino acids
3 : 1omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, close to the recommended balance
15–20 tCO₂ absorbed per hectare in a 90–120 day season
~1 in 5adults in Botswana live with HIV

Six impact areas
1 · Food security
Nutrient-dense seed for vulnerable communities
Complete protein, healthy fats and fibre in one shelf-stable, gluten-free ingredient with no big-eight allergens. Pathways include nutrition bars for refugee settings in the Horn of Africa, the Sahel and SADC, hemp-enriched school meals, and seed cake that replaces imported soy meal in animal feed.
2 · Health access
Affordable, locally produced cannabinoid medicine
Pain relief and palliative care where opioids are scarce, and support for patients with HIV-related nerve pain and appetite loss, alongside antiretroviral therapy rather than instead of it. With donor-funded HIV programmes disrupted in 2025, local supply cuts both cost and import dependence.
3 · Inclusive jobs
Formal rural work in a diamond-dependent economy
Planting, harvesting, trimming, sorting and packing are labour-intensive and need no prior qualifications. Women get formal contracts, persons with disabilities get adapted seated precision work, youth get apprenticeships with BUAN and NARDI, and smallholders can grow under contract with a guaranteed buyer.
4 · Climate
Carbon captured fast and stored for decades
Hemp grows 8–15 t of dry biomass per hectare per season. The carbon value is durable when it ends up in hempcrete and boards (50–100 years) or in biochar from crop residues. Deep roots improve the soil, and the crop needs little or no pesticide.
5 · Hemp wood & forests
A renewable alternative to slow-growing timber
Engineered hemp lumber and boards for flooring, furniture and school desks, plus fibre, paper, bioplastics and hemp-hurd briquettes that replace charcoal. That reduces pressure on Africa's forests and indoor air pollution from cooking.
6 · Shelter & education
A village built around the farm
Hempcrete keeps homes cool on hot days and warm on Kalahari nights, resists fire, mould and termites, and stores carbon. The plan: affordable worker housing, an early-childhood centre next to the fields so mothers can work, classrooms, and a health post.

Market
A fast-growing category driven by health, food security and climate
Hemp is one of the few crops that can be used in full: seeds for food, flowers for CBD and medicine, and stalks for fibre. Both companies operate in the highest-value applications.
