WA’s fledgling hemp industry celebrated a milestone last Wednesday, after growers established a co-operative to guide the direction of the new industry.
The WA Hemp Growers’ Co-operative executive officer Gail Stubber was the driving force behind the project and said the group hoped to attract funds and be a voice to help get the industry off the ground.
“As a new industry, we have a great opportunity to start off on the right foot and work together to ensure success,” she said.
“Hemp is unique in that there is a wealth of end uses and products for various parts of the plant.
“There is huge potential within WA for a multi-faceted hemp industry, and already we are seeing a good range of product innovation taking place.”
