In years past, securing a hemp contract in Tasmania meant playing phone tag and ringing around individual businesses.
This season, the Tasmanian Hemp Association (THA) has done some of the leg work by confirming current contracts currently seeking new growers for both food and fibre.
If you are looking to incorporate hemp into your farm’s crop rotation, here are the local businesses offering contract opportunities:
Note: The THA does not endorse or recommend specific commercial contracts. Growers are encouraged to perform independent due diligence to determine if a hemp contract fits their operation.
