Supporting Regional Capability
Murray Industrial Hemp is based in Barham, a regional centre with the right conditions for hemp to thrive. Our work is built on the strengths of regional communities, from farming knowledge and land access to renewable energy potential and local enterprise.
Local Economies
Hemp creates opportunities for regional economies through both natural and economic benefits. Farmers improve soil health and capture carbon while also gaining a summer rotation crop that generates revenue. Local jobs and new enterprises emerge as hemp is integrated into building, textile, and composite industries.
Highly Resourced
The Barham region is well-positioned for hemp development. Access to water, productive land, and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind provide the foundation for a strong and sustainable hub. These resources ensure that regional communities can play a central role in Australia’s hemp supply chain.
Grower Relations
Our growers are part of the Murray Industrial Hemp team. Supporting them means supporting the success of the wider industry. We are developing grower-first resources to provide practical guidance on hemp cultivation, seed supply, and agronomy. These resources will help growers add value to their crops while contributing to regional resilience.
