About Australasian Plant Genetics
Australasian Plant Genetics (APG) is a company limited by guarantee, which has been set up in early 2022 by the Queensland Strawberry Growers’ Association (QSGA) to manage all aspects of commercialisation of the varieties for which QSGA holds Master Licences.
APG, in addition to managing intellectual property for strawberry licensors, currently also manages commercialisation of macadamia varieties for macadamia licensors.
APG is wholly owned by QSGA, but its activities are now entirely separate from those of QSGA, whose main function is to represent the interests of Queensland strawberry fruit producers, both politically and on the many issues of importance to them e.g., labour availability and management, plant quality, RD&E prioritisation, overall industry development, fruit export, and marketing.
APG’s commercialisation efforts have both a national and international focus.
APG is a separate financial entity with its own specialised and experienced staff.
