We invest in RD&E to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.

The RD&E plan 2023-2028 is the key planning document that guides our investment in grains RD&E. This is part of the larger, Grains Industry National RD&E strategy.

Our business development and commercialisation activities help facilitate co-investment from public and commercial partners that bring new ideas, expertise and/or make financial contributions to investments. Our Intellectual Property management and delivery strategy will vary depending on the investment, but our aim is to ensure the most efficient and appropriate path is used to maximise the benefit for grain growers.

To create enduring profitability for grain growers, we need access to facilities, services and networks to deliver our RD&E outcomes.
