Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Declan Darcy:
In relation to imports such as grain, there is a great deal of grain imported into Ireland for the seed oil and for the plant-based protein. Of the seed that is grown in Ireland, there is some processed here as well but there are bigger companies importing it from countries such as Canada, China and France.
