Australian Company Hemp Foods on Hiring Spree BA

BANGALOW, Australia, April 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the recent legalization of hemp as a food in Australia, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest hemp foods manufacturer, Hemp Foods Australia plans to expand its operations and is seeking experienced hemp professionals to help it do so.

Because of Manitoba’s outstanding international hemp reputation, Hemp Foods Australia is specifically seeking a Production Manager from the area.

The recent ruling by Coalition of Australian Governments will have an impact on the country’s economy and farming industry. Australia and New Zealand have been the last western countries to embrace hemp as a source for protein, oil and fabric, but the April 28, 2017 ruling by Coalition of Australian Governments means Hemp Foods is now set to experience exponential growth.

“In addition to added job opportunities for Australia’s farming industry, this is a very positive step towards more sustainable farming in Australia,” said Paul Benhaim, Hemp Foods Founder.

The global hemp industry is worth approximately $1 billion and growing. The market for Australian Hemp is expected to quadruple in the next two years. Hemp Foods Australia currently uses over 200 million hemp plants annually.

“Australian hemp farmers are elated at the decision to approve hemp as a food and separate it from marijuana,” he continued.

Benhaim says Australia is a great place for job-seekers with hemp cultivation experience.

“The lifestyle in Australia simply can’t be beat. We have a beautiful moderate year-round temperature, warm ocean waters and a friendly, lively culture,” said Benhaim.

“We’ve been fortunate to attract some of Canada’s finest consultants previously and they universally tell us they’re delighted at their decision to move to Australia,” he continued.

Benhaim pioneered the European hemp foods industry with the successful snack bar '9bar' and moved his efforts to Australia in 2000 where he has built a thriving production plant capable of over 1000 ton per annum, with international distribution including Asia. ABOUT HEMP FOODS AUSTRALIA
