LONDON, UK: Love Hemp Group, one of the UK’s leading CBD and hemp product suppliers, is pleased to announce it has signed a distribution partnership for Asia with eCargo Holdings Limited (“eCargo”).

Love Hemp’s initial launch into the region will be anchored around both online and offline presences in Hong Kong and South East Asia retail channels, before expanding into India and Japan later, through strategic partnerships with eCommerce marketplaces such as Flipkart and Rakuten in 2022.

The global CBD market is forecast to exceed USD20 billion by 2024, a 614% increase from today’s valuation, with Asia representing a sizeable part of this market as regulations continue to adapt.

Working with eCargo, an established eCommerce and offline sales enabler, allows us to effectively penetrate these Asian markets and quickly position Love Hemp as a trusted, high-quality brand, as it is known in the UK.”

Love Hemp’s brand reputation and product quality speaks for itself, and we look forward to a long and successful working relationship helping them expand throughout Asian markets.”
