Australian Tropical Crops and Forages Collection

The Tropical Crops and Forages Collection is located in Biloela, Central Queensland, and is one of six institutes within Australia that maintains important plant genetic diversity through seed conservation in long-term cold storage.

The centre has the mandate to conserve plant genetic diversity from global tropical crop and forage species and their wild relatives. Over 39,000 accessions from more than 1500 tropical crop and forage species are currently maintained within the centre. Seed is available upon request to bona-fide plant researchers.
