Paraguay’s agroindustrial sector reaches a new milestone with the recent authorization from the National Service for Animal Quality and Health (Senacsa) for the production of animal feed using industrial cannabis. This provision marks the beginning of a new era in the country’s animal food and supplement production.

The measure, announced by the Paraguay Industrial Hemp Chamber (CCIP), allows the use of non-psychoactive cannabis-derived raw materials in manufacturing various categories of products intended for animal consumption. The regulation specifically contemplates the use of seeds for transformation into flour and oil.
