With over 900 staff based at sites across New Zealand as well as offices in the USA and Australia, Plant & Food Research provides research and development that adds value to fruit, vegetable, crop and marine-based food products.
Our research and commercial partnerships cover a broad spectrum of disciplines and industry sectors - from molecular biology to nutrigenomics, fresh fruit to high value seafood products. At the heart of Plant & Food Research is a goal to underpin the growth of plant and marine-based industry in New Zealand and offshore through the successful application and commercialisation of research-based innovation.
Our science in key areas - including elite cultivar development, sustainable production systems and bioprotection - supports the production of high quality produce that earns a premium in international markets, while our research into food science and the consumer drives the design and development of new and novel functional foods that offer benefits to human health and wellbeing.
