A current supply crunch on hemp hurd in Europe, while a temporary inconvenience, signals a major shift forward for the hemp building sector and can advance the development of much-needed processing facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something we have or should have been expecting for a while, as the potential for expansion in the construction sector was always on the cards,\u201d veteran hemp builder Steve Allin, founder and director of the Ireland-based\u00a0International Hemp Building Association<\/span><\/a>, said of the surge in demand for hemp building materials.<\/p>\n

With most business plans requiring the identification of a potential market to prove the viability of hemp production, the current strong demand will help those advocating for fiber production facilities to be built, Allin suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the longer term this is good news as it justifies establishing hemp processing facilities in many regions where there is currently interest in doing so,\u201d Allin said.<\/p>\n
