It is the first oilseed variety of hemp recognized by Canada and EU, and the first variety developed for use as a grain, instead of a fiber.[2] As of 2016, Finola was the most popular variety grown in Canada.[3]
Formerly named 'FIN-314', then marketed as Finola, the cultivar is a cross of two northern Russian landraces that were obtained from the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry. The developers of the variety thought the parent stock may have been Cannabis ruderalis.[4] It is short in stature at 1.5 m when mature, making it amenable to machine harvesting.[5] Combine harvesters suitable for grain can also be used to harvest Finola without modification.[6]
