AUSTRALIAN HEMP SEED INDUSTRY
Came across an interesting article on ABC Landline recently in relation to hemp seed that may be of interest to growers considering alternative/fallow crops given current state within the sugar industry. In November last year legislation of hemp seed as a food was passed and has resulted in Australian farmers now adding hemp to their grain cropping programs.
Have attached a couple of links, the first is the ABC Landline video in relation to the Hemp Seed Industry.
The second link is to the company mentioned in the video, Hemp Foods Australia whereby growers who are interested can lodge an enquiry.
