Kimberley Provincial Hemp Hybrid Workshop
An integrated approach by all role players is needed for the success of Hemp in the Province. This is according to MEC for Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform, Mme Mase Manopole. MEC Manopole was addressing Provincial Hemp Hybrid Workshop in Kimberley. She highlighted that Hemp has the potential to create employment opportunities and bolster the provincial economic spin-offs.
MEC Manopole alluded that the Agricultural Research Council is currently conducting the Hemp trials in Upington.
Meanwhile, the question of land and financial assistance remains a critical question posed by the delegates. The Northern Cape is the only province that is still outstanding to launch the Hemp Provincial Structure.
