6.4. Teaming up for hemp production

Farmers should also consider teaming up with other farmers to share costs associated with harvesting, initial processing, storage, and transportation of hemp. This collaborative approach is especially beneficial for producing hemp for fibre, which requires specialized and often expensive agricultural machinery.

Forming a producer organisation or cooperative can be advantageous. It can enhance bargaining power with buyers and improve coordination in selecting the right hemp varieties to grow. Such collective efforts can lead to more efficient operations and better market positioning.
