#HempIsTheNewPlastic (TM)
LAS VEGAS, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ISIAH International, LLC and One World Products, Inc. (OTCQB: OWPC), the largest Black-controlled, fully-licensed hemp and cannabis producer in Colombia, today announced an unprecedented and significant agreement with the National Association of Mayors of Municipalities with Afro-Colombian populations (“AMUNAFRO”) during Chairman and CEO Isiah Thomas’ trip to Colombia last week.
“Our expanded partnership with AMUNAFRO represents a historic shift for the Indigenous farmer and grower communities and the Afro-Colombian population,” stated Mr. Thomas. “As an ascendant international hemp and cannabis company focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, our consortium will now control over ONE MILLION ACRES of land in Colombia focused on the licensed production of industrial hemp for integration into sustainable, carbon-reducing products made throughout the world. And with this control over one million-plus acres dedicated to eco-enriching hemp production, we estimate that we will capture more carbon than the Amazon Rainforest will capture in comparable decades to come.
“Another benefit of the partnership is that we now may be the largest black-owned land organization in the Americas,” added Mr. Thomas. “As I have said previously, a primary goal of our partnership has been to serve the Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities through the formation of a business consortium of small and emerging business entities with an interest in the cultivation of industrial hemp. This agreement for control of over one million acres of land in Colombia is a ‘game-changer’ for improving the global environment as well as the lives of Indigenous people and Afro-Colombians for future generations.”
Mr. Thomas made additional comments regarding his visit, “We met with many important business leaders and government officials on our trip who all share the same desire – a more healthy and prosperous life for all Colombians. As an example, we had a fantastic meeting with Dow Chemical’s Colombian Team to discuss strategies for global carbon reduction, the future of recyclable plastics using hemp resins and job creation in Colombia.
“In closing, I would like to thank all those that planned, supported and managed our logistics in Colombia. We look forward to returning soon to continue our discussions with those we met on this trip, as well as begin new dialogues and conversations with additional Colombian leaders as we begin executing on expanded production plans with our Indigenous and Afro-Colombian partners.”
