IND HEMP, Summit International Trading and Thien Phuoc Ramie Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to integrate U.S.-grown hemp fiber into Vietnam’s textile manufacturing supply chain.
The partnership connects U.S. hemp production with Vietnam’s established spinning, weaving, and garment manufacturing base—creating a new, scalable supply chain for hemp yarns, fabrics and finished goods.
Under the agreement:
- IND HEMP supplies decorticated hemp fiber grown and processed in Montana
- Summit International Trading manages import logistics and in-country coordination
- Thien Phuoc handles degumming, spinning and textile production
“Summit International has deep experience importing from and exporting to the U.S. from Vietnam and managing international textile supply chains,” says Morgan Tweet, CEO of IND HEMP. “Ms. Thuy of Thien Phuoc has built a strong natural fiber processing platform with ramie. Together, they have the capability to integrate hemp into an existing, working textile supply chain system.”
“Vietnam is an expert and leading manufacturer and supplier of textiles, specifically those made with sustainable natural fibers. American farmers are known to produce the best crops at scale in the world, and from visiting the farms and facilities of IND HEMP in Montana last year, we are confident that we have the partner necessary to supply both quality and consistency as hemp fiber continues to grow in both use and demand in textiles in Vietnam,” says Thanh Hu, Summit International Trading.
In December 2025, Summit International imported the first containers of raw U.S. hemp fiber into Vietnam, which was the first import of raw hemp fiber into Vietnam following recent policy changes that now allow hemp fiber imports. Since receiving those initial shipments, Thien Phuoc has processed the fiber into yarns and fabrics.
