We have an annual turnover of some $55 million (2007) and a staff of 370.

Our research funding comes from a mix of local and international industry and government sources, and we carry out research covering the spectrum from fundamental to applied research.

We focus on developing intellectual property in our areas of expertise and capturing and sharing the value of resulting developments with our partners.

We are developing our research capabilities and networks in Australia through Crop & Food Research Australia. Collaborative research involving scientists on both sides of the Tasman, with support from New Zealand and Australian governments and industry, is producing exciting business opportunities and a range of healthy new food options for consumers.
