The two candidates were being compared to Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, and Bernie won. Putting any personal opinions aside and looking at it from OWP's perspective, I think this was the one they would have wanted because he is definitely on board with the WEF's/Paris Accord climate change agenda. Even with the previous president, a conservative, they had implemented a cap and trade-like system with companies given the option of paying a carbon tax or purchasing carbon credits to offset their emissions. I have to believe that is only going to increase under Petro.
Isiah's push for a "socially responsible" business model is also very much in line with Petro's views and something that will likely grant him favor with the new administration.
Then there is the fact that the first black female vice president is coming on board with Petro. When you look at what Isiah has done with AMUNAFRO and signing a definitive agreement to set aside and develop 1.2 million acres for industrial hemp, again it should be looked at as highly favorable.
I wonder if some of the delays in installing the extraction and processing equipment haven't been about waiting for the outcome of this election as the equipment has been paid for for several months already.
Hopefully, once the results are confirmed, Thomas will offer a congratulatory statement and also confirm that this is going to be good for the company.

I think some folks are about to get caught here. Effectively squeezing those who have been working the charts. Looks like the IR campaign has brought in some larger buyers, not so easy to push it back down this time. This would definitely be a good time to get some of the inevitable news we are waiting for.
$OWPC
Thomas' statement about hundreds of millions in revenue from carbon credits alone seemed a bit of a stretch when I first read it but as I have dug into some research it is not unrealistic at all.
The fastest-growing commodity in the world for 2021 was carbon credits. From $.75 a tonne Jan 2021 to $7.50 a tonne Sept 2021 in the US. A report in April 2022 had the average agro price between $9-$11 per tonne. A couple of days ago, the average EU price was 15 pounds or $18.47 per tonne.
This is growing extremely fast and the target price is $40-$80 per tonne but JP Morgan has anticipated as high as $125 per tonne by 2030. The highlighted investor on that report raised 75 million in 5 days solely for the purchase and trade of carbon credits.
Colombia is fully on board with the Paris accord and has not only voluntary participation but compulsory participation through an escalating carbon tax that can be offset with these credits.
The average hemp farm pulls an estimated 11-15 tonnes of carbon per hectare per harvest, 3 a year in Colombia 1.2 million acres, and soon to be more it sounds like, is 485,829 hectares. With an average 39 tonnes per hectare annualy that is a potential 18,947,331 tonnes of carbon. The most current tax rate that I could find for Colombia was $4.86 US with and average carbon offset credit of $4 per tonne. At those current prices the in-country value of those 1.2 million acres is $75,789,324. Sold on the international voluntary market the value is potentially 4-5 times higher than that and again the prices have been steadily rising since the beginning of 2021 and anticipated for several years to come.
Combined with the potential revenue from just the 948 hectares being cultivated for fiber and oils and we are looking at an easy 2000-5000% valuation from the measly 6+ million market cap we are at now, IMO.
$OWPC!!
"Demand for carbon offsets has sky-rocketed, and what has historically been a buyer's market is now in control of the seller."
Interesting write-up. I think Isiah may be on to something here. If they just finance operations with credits it would be huge but it is looking like the potential for much more than that.

Climate proposals in the U.S., Europe, and internationally converge amidst public consultation.
Isiah knows exactly what is coming.
TEMPE, Ariz. and LONDON, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report "The Evolution of Sustainability Disclosure" released today by the Sustainability Institute by ERM (ERM) and Persefoni reveals that there is substantial convergence among new climate-related disclosure frameworks, namely the proposed rules developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S., the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in the EU, and the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation's (IFRS) International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Noting this convergence, the report also points to significant opportunity for greater harmonization, which would increase the comparability and potentially the quality of climate-related disclosure.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/new-report-helps-companies-and-investors-make-sense-of-proposed-climate-disclosure-standards-1031518605
"The good news is that companies that proactively take action on their climate strategies not only place themselves in a better position for the finalized rules, they also gain a competitive edge by becoming more agile in identifying and executing on opportunities and mitigating risk."
Get your climate credits early?
Agree with it or not, it looks like this is going to move quickly and companies may be looking to get ahead of the game.
$OWPC!!
Getting an idea of the value of these climate credits and considering the announcement of the 948 hectares, around 2,300 acres, being cultivated in December of last year we could see revenue any time now being that definitive agreements are in place. If, as I posted earlier, 46 acres of simple forest brought 1 million, then just those 2,300 acres could hold a value of $50,000,000 and a cultivated hemp farm has to hold much more value than a simple forest as it pulls more carbon.
Maybe UWM, Hub, and Forest Capital, all with investment portfolios, are looking to be the early investors in these climate credit parcels. Getting in early and providing OWP the capital to proceed with their supply plans.
This is definitely the most excited I have been about a stock in quite a while if ever. I said a while ago that I had a target of $10 for my core position. People likely thought I was just pumping. I wasn't. I knew something special was brewing here. Now I am more convinced than ever and my core position has almost doubled.
$OWPC
It really opens up all kinds of scenarios, doesn't it? When they said they would be offering financing to companies buying hemp products from them I thought maybe UWM or Hub was going to be backing them, and that still may be the case but maybe they are looking to generate the capital needed through the sale of these credits.
I knew there was talk of a whole new economy coming. I guess this is what they were talking about. Head kind of exploding with the possibilities and where this stock could end up in the coming months, and years.
$OWPC
Now Bill Gates buying up all that farmland makes a whole lot of sense. It's not just about the crops it's about the credits.
$OWPC
$1,000,000 climate credit purchase for 46 acres reported 5 days ago. I guess this is starting. If 46 acres of forest is worth a million then 1.2 million acres of hemp farmland would be worth even more than the hundreds of millions Isiah quoted in the PR today, way more.

The 10-q was just a little over 3 weeks ago and they said it was expected to be operational by the end of this month. Just 3 weeks left, if they are still on track. They have also said that they will begin production immediately. For all, we know that warehouse is full of drying product right now just waiting to be processed.
$OWPC
This carbon credit may well be the financing. When Robbi Jones was hired as CFO of Isiah International she said they had been working on a very unique financing deal. Well, this is very unique, at least to most of us.
In 2021 Isiah International partnered with Hub International, a 1.47 billion revenue insurance and investment broker.
Also in 2021, Isiah was added to the Board of Directors at United Wholesale Mortgage. A 4 billion a year company that has stated plans to diversify.
Then you have the partnership of Isiah international and Forest Capital Management for the Global expansion of investment and retirement funds.
What if this is all based on a whole new market and early investment in the climate credit scheme.
Now Stellantitis and Dow Chemicals' involvement as well as talks with Ford and Chevy start to make more sense as billion-dollar players are already a part of it.
I think today's PR may be just a glimpse of what is coming.
$OWPC
Almost a 7 billion dollar industry in 2021 and this is just the beginning. Sounds like within a couple of years this will be the new crypto. A whole separate trading market.
$OWPC
Almost every PR for the last, what, maybe 4 months has included both Isiah International AND One World Products. I have been in other OTC companies that have both private and public interests and it is usually a red flag for me because what I have seen many times is the public company used as a funding source for the private company. That does not at all appear to be the case here, (the share structure updated yesterday with no change which has been the case for several months now).
What looks to be happening here is just the opposite. It appears Isiah International is absorbing the cost of development while preserving the share structure and thus protecting Isiah's 3 million dollar investment, here.
There have been employee hirings announced as hires of One World Products that are on the Isiah International payroll. Jack Hackney is a good example.
Is Isiah setting up more traditional financing through Isiah Internation to develop and build out the business for an eventual equity-based reverse merger? That really makes sense to me and would explain why they are being so protective of the structure here.
As of right now, though Isiah does have a majority holding, he does not have full control of OWP. Less than 30% ownership. Even if the other executives and Solid Bridge chose not to give him total control through equity, which would be against their own interest IMO, Isiah could take a vote to the other shareholders, us, to get the 50%+ approval. Pretty confident of how we would vote!
So much put into development here with so many big players involved. When it all comes together it should be quite the show. Front row with my popcorn.
$OWPC
Ah, I forgot about that, I was hoping he was back in Colombia. Regardless, it is pretty impressive. Minyon Moore was a significant addition as a senior advisor. I'm sure her political connections are helping open doors here. Yes, it should be no problem getting quota approvals. Just what they have done with the local farmers is far different than any other company and has the potential to employ 10's of thousands of Colombians. That alone should win them favor with the Colombian government.
Totally normal for OTC CEOs to meet with Presidents of the countries they are operating in, right?

Did you see the DOW Chemical video? Just a short video showing Isiah as CEO of OWP, the coffee company that recently announced plans for 100% biodegradable packaging, and then the DOW trademark.
Dow Colombia would be a company capable of handling the kind of scaling Isiah is talking about and definitely have the know-how. When Thomas said in an interview with the Detroit Free Press that OWP would be sending the "hemp product" in pellet form to be used in moldings it immediately said to me that they would need a partnership or merger in Colombia for production. Who better than DOW.
If you think big, beyond Sellantis, to Ford and Chevy, who Isiah has said they are already in talks with, and then the other automakers, look at the 1,2 million acres of land secured for hemp feedstock, and then bring in a company like Dow for processing the plastic pellets it all becomes very feasible.

OWPC!!
We are not looking to supply companies as they shift, we are looking to supply entire industries as they shift.
Just need United Science to get this equipment installed. It looks like this whole installation is a custom order. Thomas has said they are going to be using cryogenic ethanol extraction, cold extractaction. That technology has only been mainstream since 2019 and United is not even advertising that type of processing yet. Not a huge jump from standard centerfuge but there is a difference in maintaining -22 degrees during the extraction. May explain the delay here or it could just be the supply chain issues so many companies are dealing with.
Still looking at this being completed in the next 30 days as per the 10-q just a couple weeks ago. Management is saying they will begin processing immediately once installed and that they will be processing initially for 3rd party as well as themselves. That means instant revenue at low cost, hopefully used to advance their own goals without incurring huge debt which is the MO of most of these mj companies.
Getting closer every day.

Industrial Hemp Market Sees Massive Growth
May 9, 2022
The global industrial hemp market was found to be valued at $4,452.0 million in 2021, which is projected to reach a huge $60,682.8 million by 2030, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 33.7% from 2021 to 2030[, according to a new report from P&S Intelligence.
The growing need for hemp in several industries and the rising legalization of the cultivation of cannabis for industrial uses are some major drivers for the market. Hemp is now used in a variety of products, such as organic body care products, clothing, health foods, and biofuels.
Key Findings of Industrial Hemp Market Report
During the projection period, the demand for hemp in the pharmaceutical business is expected to advance at a CAGR of 35%. This will be due to its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory characteristics, as well as the possibility of treating cancers, decreasing diabetes risk, and alleviating stiffness and discomfort.
The 2018 Farm Bill included a number of provisions to legalize hemp cultivation in the U.S. as an agricultural commodity and remove it from the list of restricted substances. Such initiatives have been boosting the interest of farmers in this commodity, thus resulting in its easy availability.
If a cannabis product contains more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content or if hemp is grown without a license, the bill outlines behaviors that would be deemed a breach of the law. Industrial hemp with a THC concentration of less than 0.2% is also permitted for cultivation in European countries.
In 2021, hemp fiber accounted for roughly 37% of the industrial hemp market share. Due to its flexibility, robustness, and low density, this product is in great demand for the manufacturing of fiberboard, clothing, animal bedding, composites, paper, and compost.
Hard to find another sector with this kind of anticipated growth projections right.now.
OWPC!!
Gas stations on the west coast are changing their pumps to accommodate for an extra digit, ie, $10+ gas prices, JP Morgan projecting $6+ national average to hit this summer, and now there is talk of rationing protocols.
The big success in trading is not seeing what is, it is seeing what is coming.
The preparation that Isiah is doing here with securing 1,200,000 acres and creating one of the largest capacity and scalable processing operations may seem like pipedream fantasy but just a little common sense says demand for alternatives to petroleum-based products is about to be a mainstream topic.
Whether this is an orchestrated effort to shift the world's dependency on fossil fuels or not the reality is, that it's going to shift and OWP is preparing for it.
OWPC!!
1.2 million acres according to his interview on MSNBC this week. If you threw out all the seeds, all the foliage,, and flowers and just processed the straw for fiber, you're talking a billion at market average with 3 harvests a year. Market research is projecting a huge growth rate in the sector with a 56 billion a year increase in the next 8 years. Isiah is setting up a monster here, I hate the waiting but this is an absolute lock for me.
OWPC!!
With these hires, they may be looking to create full vertical integration. Raw material, processing the plastics, and manufacturing. We really have no idea what Isiah International is doing as a private company. Isiah Automotive was formed in 2020 but there is not any information on where they are in development.
Isiah Automotive
Isiah Automotive is dedicated to developing, producing, and marketing automotive hemp-based products of OWP to the global automotive supply chain.
Really could be more than raw material or even platics.
And when the hell are these two companies going to tie the knot? Seriously, two companies don't hire people. Isiah holds a 27% stake here. OWP is not a majority-held subsidiary, yet they have been PRing as the same company for a couple of months now. Are they just waiting until everything is a lock, and then providing the cash to purchase the raw material through a reverse merger for controlling interest?
Wouldn't that be a beautiful 8-K?
OWPC!!
Not much difference from the 10K. Still waiting for the processing equipment to be put into service. Management is saying that they will begin immediately once that happens and that they will initially be processing for 3rd party as well as themselves. That is when revenue starts. It sounds like the delay is on the manufacturer's end as the equipment is paid for. They are still anticipating delivery within the next 6 weeks, "2nd quarter", so we are close.
"Revenues decreased slightly as we began to shift our focus toward producing and selling oils."
I also like that they are funding with promissory and demand notes, $630k to date this year. That is management putting up their own money in non-convertible financing. Beats the heck out of toxic notes. Isiah is protecting that $3 million investment by preserving the structure while we wait for this equipment.
OWPC!
.
Nice. A partnership with Dow would be huge.
I was half watching Fox Business this morning, a segment on oil supply, and heard the word plastics. It caught my attention and I rewound a bit. Didn't note who was speaking but he was talking about the supply disruption due to Russia. He then said what we are just beginning to see, and not yet talking about, is the disruption in the supply chain of plastics and the hundreds of other products that require petroleum. He didn't say much else but that was the first time I heard this mentioned mainstream. We could very well see a scramble for alternatives in the very near future as Europe is cutting the lines with Russia.
I guess there is no need to bring up the potential of 1 million acres as we are no longer talking millions. I keep going back to the market research reports which are projecting a 54 billion increase in annual sales by 2030 for industrial hemp. I guess they are talking to the same people as Isiah.
Some things are worth waiting for.
OWPC!!
Share structure updated today, no changes. Hard to believe but these are just common holders selling. Sell at the bottom! Great strategy.
OWPC!!
New research reports coming out and industrial hemp is set to skyrocket. The one put out on May 4th 2022 from PSMR anticipates $60 billion by 2030 from $4 billion in 2021. A CAGR of over 33%. That is a huge growth rate!
https://au.news.yahoo.com/industrial-hemp-market-hit-record-110500614.html
Isiah may not simply be anticipating what is coming but actually knows what's coming.

The launches will bring to life best in-class examples of innovative ingredients that will allow customers to discover sustainable and inclusive beauty solutions.
ESG bandwagon...
OWPC!!
A reverse merger of Isiah International still has a high probability here, IMO, and the list of things pointing in that direction continues to grow.
Another thing I noticed is that the new IR firm has no other OTC holdings, all big board stocks. Is OWP taken?
OWPC!!
Wonder if the extraction equipment is being installed this week. That would definitely be an event worth making the trip for.

If Isiah can harness some of that ego into proving he can actually run a successful cannabis business we will be in great shape here.

Replacing Plastics With Hemp: One World Products now works closely with the auto industry in the town where Thomas made his name — he mentioned Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, and Stellantis NV
— as the “Big Three” begin to remove plastics from their vehicles.
OWPC!!
I know he's got the celebrity status and all but considering some of the companies participating it is still pretty impressive they put him in the opening address. I think they said 600 companies were being represented. Celebrity or not, Benzinga has to believe in this company to give him that slot.
I think a "let it be known" is a given.
Good to see Stellantis is still with us too.
OWPC!!
Looked into it, finally. The cheapest seats were $1,500 and it's sold out so, yeah, we will have to wait for the transcripts/video.
So ready to see this company start producing. It has been a long time coming. They have set it up right now it's time to get in the game.
OWPC!!
"Been granted a state-sanctioned THC quota." Things can change very fast now.
Is this being aired anywhere? Does anyone know?
OWPC!!
They said a couple of weeks ago that they had lined up contracts with many of the chosen companies and anticipated more with the remaining13 companies involved in the development program.
Notice they didn't even list OWP in that last presentation they put out? Just Isiah International. They have updated the Isiah International website but haven't done anything to One World Products. Last week they updated recent news on Isiah International with One World Products news.
What's really going on?
OWPC!!
One thing I definitely appreciate here is that they seem to be very conscientious of the share structure. 2 non-dilutive promissory notes for $600k in the first quarter of this year. Beats the hell out of the toxic loans so many companies think nothing about piling on shareholders.
Another thing I would point out is that once this equipment is in service, which happens in the next 10 weeks according to the filling, the company is ready to begin processing. That doesn't necessarily mean they are going to start with their own product. There are deals with local farmers and what they may have in mind is generating initial revenue by processing finished goods for others to raise the capital they need to produce their own in the 2nd half of the year. That may be a sounder financial path rather than starting off with a huge debt.
Just my .02.
Might get some more info after Thomas speaks in Miami Wednesday.
OWPC!!
OWP and their exclusive relationship with FEDECORE should definitely bring them high favor with the Colombian Government. The 2,300 acres they have contracted have employed 650. Through FEDECORE, OWP has access to 1,000,000 acres of potential farmland. That would equate to over 280,000 employed. A huge opportunity for everyone involved. I don't know much about ANDI Colombia but if they are advocating trade growth for Colombia and the US then advocating for OWP should be a no-brainer. I have looked at other foreign companies operating in Colombia and none of them are looking to add to the economy of Colombia as this one does. Once they get rolling this really does look to be a powerhouse. I am right there with the CEO, excited about the future!
OWPC!!
The type of hemp grown for fiber, which is what Stellantis would be looking for is a different strain. The plants are much slimmer and grow 10-12 ft high. It's the stalk they are after. I assume the 948 hectares, 2300 acres, they reference on the website are these types of plants and typically grown outdoors. They can still use other parts of the plant but if you are looking to produce the high-end CBD and THC, where the big money is, it's usually a covered grow.
Got to be very close to hearing something at this point. There has been a lot of work put into preparation. It is time!
