PBR and EPR
Lancelin is protected by Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) and all production (except seed saved for planting) is liable to an End Point Royalty (EPR), which funds future plant breeding.
Lancelin growers will be subject to a Grower License Agreement that acknowledges that an EPR of $3.70/tonne + GST must be paid on all production other than seed saved for planting.
Breeders comments
Due to improved agronomic practices and better performing varieties, growers are producing higher yields than ever before. However, higher yields can mean that achieving high protein is more challenging.
Where protein achievement is difficult, there may be opportunities to grow soft, biscuit style wheat which requires a lower protein level. We aim to reinvigorate the soft wheat industry in WA, targeting export customers throughout the south-east Asian market.
Lancelin is our first soft (ASFT) classified variety, suitable for end use products such as biscuits and cookies. With a similar agronomic package and yield as Scepter, Lancelin provides growers with an alternative to traditional hard bread wheat varieties, in areas where high protein is hard to achieve.
