Abstract
Abstract This paper summarizes the history of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) cultivation and traditional use in the north-central region of Turkey, and investigates the cultivation and processing techniques currently being used to produce hemp bast fiber and hemp seed. Hemp bast fibers are used by the Turks for making paper, hand-made rope, and machine processed twine and rope. The hurd is used locally for kindling. The flowers are used for compost and the seeds are used for human food and bird feed. The use of hemp in recent years has declined significantly. The cultural and economic reasons for the reduced cultivation and use of hemp are discussed.
