As we look ahead to 2026, the global food industry is driven by a clear shift toward purity, transparency, and functionality. These themes were strongly reflected also at FI Europe 2025, where manufacturers showed increasing interest in clean-label ingredients — especially hemp.
Key Trends for 2026
- Plant-based proteins
Brands continue to expand their plant-based portfolios, looking for high-quality, multifunctional protein sources. - Transparency and clean origin
Full traceability is now essential. Ingredients with Nordic origin, particularly Finnish hemp, are gaining attention. - Minimalist and natural formulations
Manufacturers want shorter ingredient lists and clean-label alternatives. - Sustainability
Low-impact crops are increasingly preferred, making hemp a natural choice. - Functional foods
Demand rises for ingredients rich in omega-3, fiber, and plant-based protein.
Why Finnish Hemp Fits These Needs
Finnish hemp offers exceptional purity, full traceability, and naturally strong nutritional value — making it an ideal match for modern food industry requirements. With GMO-free and pesticide-free cultivation, it supports both quality and sustainability goals.
