Hemp Bio-Commodities

Hemp bio-commodities are the processed fractions of hemp stalks. The outer fibre (bast) and interior pith (hurd) can be processed in many ways to produce raw materials, or a significant component, in a multiplicity of manufactured products. Hemp based bio-commodities have many formats, from crude raw fibrous material through to a highly refined fibre and treated cellulose materials.

Ecofibre’s primary role within the Group is to develop a full supply chain network for the production of bio-commodities to feed both domestic and export markets wherever the opportunity and ability to grow hemp exists. The secondary role is to develop plant types adapted to temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions worldwide.
