Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hemp Industry: Discussion

Mr. Barry Caslin:

That is right. In France, it is the straw component that is being separated through decortication, and the fibres are being used for insulation and building blocks. We are importing hemp building blocks from a Belgian company, IsoHemp. A good critique or study could be done on what we are importing. The industry specialists who met the members some weeks ago will probably have figures on that. We more or less come from the agronomic side and do not focus on what the different markets are returning.
