We are NCRBA.

We work to protect the future of the hemp industry through education, advocacy, and responsible standards. Our goal is to support farmers, business owners, and consumers by promoting safe and compliant practices across North Carolina. We bring clarity to confusing policies and help the community stay informed and prepared.

The North Carolina Responsible Business Association was created to support an industry facing rapid federal and state level changes. Businesses, farmers, operators, and consumers depend on clear structure to stay compliant and protected, yet the regulatory landscape continues to shift. Our organization works to bring clarity during that uncertainty by offering guidance, advocacy, and reliable information. We focus on elevating responsible practices and creating a strong foundation for how hemp derived products should be regulated. This work involves ongoing communication with policymakers, industry leaders, and community stakeholders who share a commitment to transparency and safety. Our mission is to ensure that businesses can operate with confidence while consumers continue to access safe and compliant products. We believe that responsible regulation is the key to a stable and thriving hemp market.

The association brings together industry professionals who understand the daily challenges of compliance, testing, product standards, and consumer education. Each member contributes firsthand knowledge that reflects the realities of operating in a heavily regulated environment. This insight allows us to identify gaps, build solutions, and help shape policy that is practical and sustainable. We work closely with companies across the supply chain, including growers, processors, retailers, and service providers, to ensure that all voices are represented. These collaborative efforts improve understanding between businesses and lawmakers and help shape decisions grounded in real world impact. By maintaining active dialogue and offering clear recommendations, we support legislation that protects both public safety and economic growth. Our work helps move the industry toward a more unified and responsible future.

Our approach focuses on education, advocacy, and community engagement. We create resources that help businesses understand regulatory expectations, develop strong compliance practices, and stay informed as new rules emerge. We also provide consumers with tools to make confident and informed decisions about the products they use. In addition to our educational role, we remain active in policy discussions at both the state and federal levels. Our goal is to ensure that the emerging regulatory framework supports safe access while protecting the people and businesses that rely on hemp products. Through combined efforts with industry partners, community members, and policymakers, we are building a structure that promotes responsibility, transparency, and long term stability. We believe that a strong regulatory foundation will allow the industry to grow while maintaining the highest standards of accountability.
