ICA Chairman Dr Gama Bandawe explains the incredible characteristics of cannabis that make it a super crop.

Video transcription:

So the great thing about cannabis is that it is known as a super crop. This means that it has got many uses. You can use virtually the entire plant. Up here, we’ve got the flower or the bud. With the bud you’re able to extract oil from this. You’re able to get seeds which you can use and press for oil to generate things like cosmetics and other important oil products and its also a very rich source of fiber, food as well. And then the rest of the wood part of the plant. The outside is a very, very powerful fiber that can be used for rope and fabric and the inside is the stalk which can also be used for things like paper and this amazing stuff here, which is a building material, hemp crete.
