T&G Global and Plant & Food Research have announced they are entering into a new agreement to breed and commercialize the new varieties of blueberries to be sold globally. The breeding programme will produce new varieties of blueberry that will provide improved yield and resistance to disease while also delivering consumers larger, tastier berries over a longer period, with an extended harvest season. The first new commercial varieties could be launched globally in the next 12 months under T&G Global's Orchard Rd brand. The new partnership builds on an existing agreement that grants the global fresh produce grower and marketer, T&G Global, access to a suite of Plant & Food Research-bred and licensed blueberry varieties for production in Australia.
