Sources of hemp for building
Until recently, the majority of UK hemp farmers supplied their raw hemp under exclusive
supply contract to a company called Hemp Technology Ltd (previously 'Hemcore'), which
invested in a large hemp-processing plant in Halesworth in Suffolk and supplied hemp
products to a range of markets, including the construction industry.
Hemp Technology went into administration on 28 October 2013. They appear to be seek-
ing investors, but at the time of writing it seems unlikely that the company will be revived
in its current form.
