Are Wholesale Hemp Biomass Prices Going to Drop or Climb in 2019?

Ever since the 2018 Farm Bill passed, the hemp industry has been under a microscope. New farmers are entering the industry each day and states are scrambling to get regulations in place.

Transporting hemp between state lines has proven to be a challenge. This might present larger issues to the industry that could cause regional prices to spike or fall. The market is uncertain at best, but demand for hemp and CBD products is only growing. 

Looking at the data that we currently have available, it appears prices might actually climb. From October – December of 2018, hemp biomass averaged only $54 per pound. This amount has jumped to $57 per pound in Q1 of 2019 and is expected to grow beyond $65 per pound in Q3.

Wholesale Hemp Biomass Price Analysis

The chart above shows a unstable market in rapid growth. Hemp biomass prices continue to shift, but the trend upwards is clear. One of the largest deciding factors in pricing has been CBD percentage, but the overall market continues to climb.

Buyers are clearing dying to get their hands on quality hemp biomass. Looking at the chart, we would expect to see the Average Offer Accept Priceto be consistently lower than the Average List Price, but this isn’t the case.

In fact, the Average Offer Accept Price for hemp biomass is 102% of the Average List Price. This is staggering! In fact, the average offers received on hemp raw materials listings is 1.47.

This is in stark contrast to cannabis, which is seeing the market begin to level out.

Looking back to October 2018, hemp biomass has sold for around $35 -$75 per pound, with an average of $56 based on actual sales data.

Despite having historical data, hemp biomass is more difficult to price. With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, the hemp market is sure to be flooded with product from new growers in 2019.

It is unknown how these new producers will impact the hemp industry. While some believe prices could crash, especially with brands like Coca-Cola setting a price floor, others think this is the time to invest.

Demand is set to grow at a rate that farmers may not be able to keep up with. Based on how prices have fluctuated over the past six months, it is hard to set a baseline. Kush expects to see hemp biomass prices continue to climb throughout the summer.
