Abstract
The article presents research on the prospects of development of production and processing of such agricultural crops as hemp. An attempt has been made to overcome the stereotypes existing in modern society and to prove that technical hemp is, above all, a universal, highly profitable crop. It is emphasized that technical hemp cannot be equated with narcotic substances. First of all, the historical aspect of human use of hemp is highlighted.

The situation with hemp production in the world and in Ukraine is briefly described. It is noted that Ukraine lags behind the world's leading hemp producers, but there are some changes. The main directions of hemp use in Ukraine in the present conditions are revealed. Nevertheless, it is urgent to disseminate information about hemp among Ukrainian agricultural producers. The main advantages of hemp from the point of view of economy and ecology are generalized, systematized and presented. It is substantiated that all of them determine the expediency of the development of hemp production and processing. Emphasis is placed on the possibilities of introducing diversified production and the possibility of creating products with high added value in the agricultural sector with the effective development of production and processing of hemp. The main areas of use of hemp and products of their processing in today's conditions are highlighted. It is noted that hemp is a raw material for a number of industries. It is substantiated that the universality of hemp determines the economic feasibility of its production and processing. Emphasis is placed on the profitability of hemp production and processing. The focus is on the possibilities of production of medicinal raw materials from hemp. Along with arguments in favor of the development of hemp production and processing, attention is focused on the main restraining factors in the development of hemp production in Ukraine. In general, the article achieves the goal – to justify the feasibility of production and processing of hemp in Ukraine, taking into account global trends and the current demand for its products.
