We provide the most sustainable means of hemp production. 

Fibra was founded by a group possessing a wealth of experience in agricultural science, research, finance and renewables. The Founders have been able to build an unrivalled network bringing together the very best genetics, engineering and agricultural technology.

Sharing knowledge from working with and within multinational businesses around the world Fibra is building a community aggregating vastly ex

The company’s strategic aim is to establish hemp growing and processing facilities throughout the UK – working with a network of farmers to grow the crop under licence and process at a central location in the local area.

Fibra provides unrivalled support helping farmers identify growing areas and navigating the licencing process. We select and source the approved seed varieties which will thrive on your holding; we provide continuous agronomic support and connect you to fellow growers to share experience; we advise on harvest and haulage and pay promptly for your product.

Processing partners benefit from the technical and financial resources at Fibra’s disposal. We source, specify and cover the capital expenditure to deliver, install and commission world class decorticating and cleaning machinery with engineering and technical support.

Working with universities, designers and manufacturers we provide the raw materials driving fundamental change in properties, capabilities and environmental impact of 1000s of products.

Hemp has tremendous potential as an alternative to traditional break crops which face increasing challenges ranging from establishment to pest loads and spring cultivations due to ground conditions whilst adding diversity into the crop rotation.

The late spring planting allows the application of blackgrass pesticide late into spring and the establishment of a truly stale seed bed. Further, the crop requires few if any inputs – reducing leaching of nutrients, traffic and the associated compaction. There is no requirement for herbicides nor pesticides.

Tillage preferences can be maintained.

Manufacturers utilising synthetic and natural fibres face considerable headwinds ranging from consumer preferences, cross-border supply chains and regulation.

Most synthetic fibres are derived from hydrocarbons. These are created such as rayon or nylon or derived from waste from oil and gas production such as carbon fibre.

Natural fibres face a different but equally pernicious challenge. Sustainable fibres such as bamboo, coconut, jute etc are grown in tropical climates requiring processed material to travel vast distances for utilisation in manufacturing and distribution. Cotton is ubiquitous but unsustainable by almost every measure – miles travelled, water consumption, pesticide usage and residues, water contamination from cleaning and bleaching and modern-day slavery. It is the natural fibre that is the backbone of apparel, healthcare and many other industries.

Additionally, hemp improves soil structure and sequesters vast amounts of carbon in its extremely short vegetative growth phase.
