Australia/New Zealand Hemp hopes rise as FSANZ inquiry considers submisisons

A national inquiry into the regulations governing food grade hemp is underway.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand is considering the use of low THC hemp as a food.

It's taken submissions, including one from the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association and another from Tasmania's Industrial Hemp Association.

TIHA president and Bishopsbourne farmer, Phil Reader says there's been a lot of interest from retailers, wholesalers and processors, as well as the potential growers to relax Australian regulations now in place.
