21 September 2023 • Canada
The RCM of Domaine-du-Roy will invest $132,000 in an experimental project for the industrial cultivation of hemp seed and fiber. As Reeve Yanick Baillargeon explains: "We're open to the development of cultivars, because there's enormous potential and many possible applications for the future. Our sector has developed good expertise in hemp seeds, but we can go even further by developing the fiber plant sector, particularly hemp".
