NGRP research day 2022
The National Grain Research Programme was launched to support the national grain and oilseed industry through research and innovation. Our vision is to 1) increase collaboration between government, industry, local Universities and other research institutes; 2) increase engagements between grain and oilseed stakeholders and 3) to promote industry-relevant, outcomes-based research.
On 9 May 2022, the first annual NGRP research day will be hosted. During this meeting we seek to provide feedback to the grain industry and other stakeholders with researchers from the University of Pretoria, the University of the Free State and Stellenbosch University that will present an overview of grain related research projects. The meeting will take place virtually with the possibility of some hybrid interactions and is open to staff of NGRP members.
