Our mission is to improve forest growers' profitability by increasing the rate of annual genetic gain, and to create and implement technological advances in genetics that will lead to greater competitiveness of the Australasian radiata pine industry.
improved germplasm
We do this by capturing and delivering genetic gain to the breeding supply chain, in the form of well characterised improved germplasm.
