‘Paddock to plate’ value chain for high rainfall zone noodle wheat
  • To prove that the High Rainfall Zone (HRZ South) can produce high quality Udon Noodles and increase the continuity of supply in an exclusive market. The MRZ and LRZ of Western Australia have to date been the exclusive Udon Noodle supply areas to international markets. WA is the only external source of wheat grain for Udon Noodle manufacture for Japan and Korea.
  • To provide greater longer-term diversity and options for crop rotations in the southern HRZ. NOTE: the current dominant rotation of YIYO canola: barley is under threat with more disease and chemical resistance.
