Annex is a Victorian health and snack food company and will use APH’s hemp seeds in its products sold under the Red Tractor Brand. These products are sold in supermarkets around Australia and internationally.

The agreement is valued at $760,000 and is a significant milestone for APH.

“The partnership with Annex is a significant step in growing our strategy and delivering great customer outcomes with Australian-grown produce,” he added.

Annex Managing Director, Kane Fetterplace, said the company is committed to using Australian grown ingredients in its products.

“The agreement extends our range of Red Tractor Australian-grown grains and seeds to include world-class hemp seeds, ensuring we can continue to offer Australians more locally-grown food,” he said.
