The grains industry plays a vital role in Australia’s economy, comprising 24 percent of total agricultural exports.
The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) supports the industry through investing in research, development and extension (RD&E) to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.
The GRDC invests over $192 million in around 900 research, development and extension (RD&E) projects to directly benefit growers across a broad range of research areas. Within their carefully balanced portfolio is a range of investments, from long-term, high risk, ‘blue sky’ research to short-term, outcome-focused applied research at the local level.
