The Farm Products Council of Canada has started the public hearing process to figure out the benefits of a hemp Promotion and Research Agency.
Having the hemp PRA would allow hemp growers to be involved in the advancement of the industry while helping them with research and promotion as well.
The biggest reason for getting a national agency is that hemp is a small acreage crop.
If there were 3 or 4 provincial agencies funds would get eaten up by administration costs.
