	abstract = {Hemp has been cultivated by man for its multiple uses: its solid fibres for textiles, its nutritious oilseeds and the medicinal
and therapeutic properties of its resin. Hemp is a technical plant that has been cultivated in Romania for over 2,000
years, its main use being to obtain fibres for making clothing. Before 1989, in Romania hemp was cultivated in large
areas, exceeding 50,000 hectares, ranking 4th in the world. After 1989, interest in cultivating hemp declined, and by
2008 this crop has almost disappeared.
Starting from national production capacity, this paper is presenting an overview of the textile market in Europe, with a
view on the hemp market, and the marketing possibilities for Romanian hemp, based on calculations retrieved from
official data available on INTRACEN and the National Institute of Statistics of Romania.
The study of production capacities was analysed in terms of cultivated areas and productions obtained in Romania,
reported in official national statistics. For a market projection, the data were extracted from the trade map database. The
export potential was studied taking into account the harmonized standard codes for hemp.},
