Projects

High-value Australian hard noodle wheat for East Asia

Asian markets recognise Australian Prime Hard (APH) and Australian Noodle Wheat (ANW) as superior for noodle making. AH is less recognised for noodles, however, through market engagement in China, AEGIC found that a parcel of AH varieties was highly rated for premium noodles. In response, AEGIC is engaging with other high-value Asian markets including South Korea and Japan to explore the unique opportunity to position Australia as a highly valued AH noodle wheat supplier.
