A panel of industry experts from across Australia will deliver short presentations, including Bob Doyle, an iHemp grower, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Hemp license assessment officer Phillip Blackmore and Australian hemp masonry company manager, Klara Marosszeky.
The forum will assess the immediate and long-term end-markets for iHemp in Australia and provide independent advice on the steps to take to enter the market.
Participants will hear from current Australian, growers, buyers and manufactures' on how this grand idea can be transformed into a functional and sustainable cropping option in the Orana.
