What is it all about?

This investment is working towards the release of new pineapple varieties suited to Australia’s key pineapple growing regions.

There is a focus on developing and evaluating high-yielding varieties with improved disease resistance and flowering control, as well improved fruit yield, consistency and quality, to meet the needs of both growers and consumers.

This program continues the work of the National pineapple breeding and evaluation program (PI17000).
