The lack of large-scale hemp processing has slowed the growth of the crop that can be used for more than 20,000 different products.
Dun Agro, a global leader in product development for fiber applications and a pioneer with a 28-year history in the reborn European hemp industry, said the Indiana operations will be modeled after its vertically integrated complex at Oude Pekela, Holland, where the company has an environmentally friendly factory that turns out hurd, fiber and other hemp materials for a wide range of applications.
Dun Agro said it will support American farmers as they add hemp to their rotations, and boost job creation in local communities through large-scale processing and manufacturing of consumer products.
The U.S. facility is expected to be operational in mid-2023 but Dun Agro said it is growing and will harvest crops in Indiana and Idaho this year.
