Around the same time hemp cultivation began in Chile, the Spanish also attempted hemp cultivation in Peru and Columbia. Attempted and failed. Much of the hemp grown in Chile was shipped to the colonial capital in Lima for army and navy needs. Chile hemp production began in the Quilota Valley north of Santiago, continued there for 400 years. Before WW2 most Chilean hemp was grown in Aconcagua province, noth and west of Santiago. After the war it shifted southwards to small farms in central Chile.
