In Essonne, the hemp sector is relaunching and hopes to attract new farmers

Knighted during its first years of operation, after its launch in 2013 in Prunay-sur-Essonne, the Gatichanvre company quickly experienced a descent into hell. Accused by 9 million debts, it was placed under the responsibility of a judicial representative in July 2019 before being bought, just a year ago, by the Plantes et Fruits group, specializing in aromatic and medicinal plants. Today, the new bosses are ready to restart production, from the beginning of 2023.
