Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the cultivation of fibrous hemp plants and the extraction of hemp fibers in the 1950s by studying the case of the village of Mezdreya, northwestern Bulgaria. The author describes in detail the process of hemp growing –sowing and plant care, harvesting and seed storage, preparation of the stem immersion equipment, drying, washing and processing of hemp stems and fibres. The emphasis is placed on the social relations arising in the cultivation and processing of hemp. The research has been set in the framework of regional and national studies and in the economic and political context of the period between the late 19th century and the end of the 1950s. Thus, it was possible to track the processes over a period of almost a century.
