EU hemp variety catalogue
Official EU list of approved hemp varieties with less than 0.2% THC for legal cultivation.
The EU hemp variety catalogue (the Common Catalogue of Varieties) lists every hemp variety that may legally be grown in the European Union. Inclusion requires a THC content below 0.2% of dry matter.
For CBD producers and retailers the catalogue is the basis of legality: only products made from approved varieties may be sold. The catalogue currently covers more than 70 varieties.
Hemp Wholesale Europe uses raw material exclusively from EU-certified hemp varieties. Variety certificates are documented for every batch and available on request.
