Finger on pulse at Kingaroy Research Facility
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities The Honourable Mark Furner
The Kingaroy Research Facility is poised to become a major hub for pigeon pea research following the addition of 53 ha of adjoining land.
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the expansion of the Facility demonstrated the Queensland Government’s commitment to agriculture in the Burnett region.
“We are investing in innovation so Queensland farmers can be the best in the world,” Mr Furner said.
“We can now really ramp up pigeon pea work while expanding existing trials. As one of the most widely-consumed pulses in the world, it has great potential as a summer cash crop.
