A grower licence authorises the licensee, in accordance with the licence—
(a) to possess industrial hemp plants and seed; and
(b) to produce industrial hemp plants and seed from certified hemp seed; and
Note While industrial hemp plants may have a THC concentration in their leaves and flowering heads of not more than 1%, certified hemp seed must be seed harvested from a plant with a THC concentration in its leaves and flowering heads of not more than 0.5%. The difference recognises that the leaves and flowering heads of plants grown using certified hemp seed may have more than 0.5% THC because of environmental conditions beyond a grower's control.
(c) to supply industrial hemp seed to—
(i) a category 1 or category 2 researcher; or
(ii) a grower; and
(d) to possess class A or class B research hemp seed for use under the supervision of a category 1 or category 2 researcher, as part of a field trial conducted on land owned or leased by the grower; and
(e) to produce class A or class B research hemp plants and seed under the supervision of a category 1 or category 2 researcher, as part of a field trial conducted on land owned or leased by the grower; and
(f) to supply to a category 1 or category 2 researcher class A or class B research hemp plants and seed produced on land owned or leased by the grower as part of a field trial conducted under the supervision of the category 1 or category 2 researcher; and
(g) to supply industrial hemp seed to someone in a State who is authorised under the law of the State to possess hemp seed that, if grown, will produce hemp plants with a THC concentration in their leaves and flowering heads the person in the other State may possess; and
(h) if the licensee holds a licence under the Customs Act 1901 (Cwlth) authorising the licensee to export hemp—to supply industrial hemp seed to someone in a foreign country who is authorised under the law of that country to possess the seed.
