Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Hemp Industry: Discussion
Mr. John Spink:
I could not yet tell the Senator, because we have not done the work to know what particular uses the protein might have, but it is one crop that we are looking at, and if we can identify high-value uses for the protein, that information will be made available to the industry. Hopefully, the industry can be exploit it. If we can develop good markets that pay the farmer, then it is all well and good.
