Andong City in the 'Daema Regulatory Free Zone' Launches Intensive Crackdown on Illegal Daema Leakage
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Andong City, designated last year as a 'Hemp Regulation-Free Zone,' announced on the 21st that it will intensify crackdowns on illegal activities in anticipation of an increase in hemp cultivators and companies manufacturing and processing food products using hemp seeds as raw materials.
Farmers in the Andong area who primarily cultivate hemp for fiber must obtain prior permission. According to the 'Narcotics Control Act,' hemp cultivators for fiber are required to dispose of the leaves by incineration, burial, or other methods that prevent leakage. Additionally, smoking or ingesting the husks of hemp seeds is prohibited.
When disposing of the husks of hemp seeds, they must also be treated by incineration, burial, or similar methods. They cannot be supplied as animal feed, and violations will result in severe penalties.
