SouthFibre is focused on becoming Australia's leading processor of industrial hemp. Controlling the value chain from seed and agronomy through to Australian grown hurd, fibre and fines for textile, construction, animal care, bioplastics and horticulture.
We were among the first to recruit and educate growers in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria, and have spent years researching the crop alongside approved Research Bodies and Australian universities.
Our processing line in Central Victoria commissions in September 2026 — producing hurd, fibre and fines for an Australian market in which demand currently outpaces supply.
About SouthFibre →Decortication separates the hemp stalk into its three commercial streams. We supply each one — and partner with manufacturers, distributors and on-farm operations who turn them into the materials on this page.

The fine dust and short fragments from decortication. A growing input across horticulture and pelletised products.
View fines →
3–5× more absorbent than wood shavings. 100% dust, mould and chemical free. Composts in weeks.
SF Equine bedding →
Carbon-negative walls. 300 mm absorbs ~40 kg CO₂ vs. brick emitting ~100 kg. Termite-proof, fire-resistant, breathable.
Hempcrete →
A hemp-based input for the rapidly growing bioplastic market — projected at USD 15 B by 2028.

Lightweight, sterile, biodegradable. A natural fit for nurseries, propagation and protected cropping.
Read more →Substantial biomass commitments support continued expansion of processing capacity. The Central Victoria facility commissions in September 2026 as the first of several hub locations.
Initial production sells into existing Australian markets as raw material for building products, animal bedding and more — categories where Australian demand currently outweighs supply.
With initial processing capacity established, SouthFibre will move deeper into branded, value-added products — partnering with existing building-material companies, leveraging seed genetics, and bringing imported processing technology to bear on the Australian market.
