Kerrie Gleeson - SunPrime Seeds - Australia

July 2002

How will the Australian farmer benefit from this project?
SunPrime aims to improve the pace at which wheat breeders supply Australian growers with high yielding and disease resistant wheat varieties that also meet the requirements of today’s increasingly demanding domestic and international markets.

It will be grain growers, through their ongoing purchases of seed, who will decide Australia’s most successful wheat breeding company in the years to come – there won’t be much future for any breeding company that release varieties that don’t meet the needs of both growers and end-users.
