Call for research: AgriFutures Export Fodder Program

⁠⁠⁠The Export Fodder Program goal is to invest in research, development and extension (RD&E) that improves the productivity, profitability and sustainability of the Australian export fodder industry.

The Australian export fodder industry comprises a wide variety of crop and pasture species in the form of hay and straw for use as animal feed in export markets. Production of fodder crops occurs in most Australian states and territories, however the main export production states are Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria. Australian oaten hay is a unique offering on the global export fodder market and is viewed as a premium product, especially in the international dairy industry. The key established markets for fodder are Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan.
