The Centre's research focuses on crops that will have the biggest global impact and it includes bananas, sugarcane and tropical pulses.

The development of "super bananas" is expected to lift the health and wellbeing of millions of people in East Africa The Centre is internationally recognised as a leader in developing innovative, real-world solutions for the sugar industry.

The Centre's research includes genetic manipulation for improving the nutritional status of food, disease resistance and stress tolerance in tropical crops; developing advanced techniques for disease diagnosis and control; and manufacturing high-value green chemicals, biofuels and other bioproducts from agricultural waste.

The research outcomes make a significant contribution to improving tropical agriculture in Australia and developing countries in Africa, India and South-East Asia, helping to solve some of the world's biggest challenges.
