Abstract Hemp production has been successfully adapted to meet local conditions in western Canada. Production has been driven by commercial interest in this species as an oilseed crop. As hemp is a photosensitive plant, the higher latitudes of western Canada appear to contribute to increased levels of essential fatty acids in the seed. Cultivars of shorter stature and early maturity have been imported, or locally bred, for the specific purpose of oilseed production or dual purpose (seed and fiber). Over 2,700 ha were seeded in western Canada in 2003. Research continues in order to improve production practices and optimize seed yield of the crop, under conventional and Certified Organic systems.
