Make a seed request
The Australian Grains Genebank (AGG) distributes all seed samples under stringent regulations, including relevant national and international phytosanitary and quarantine laws, as well as access and benefit-sharing regulations.
The AGG provides seed and related information upon request for research, breeding, genetic resource conservation, and training/education for food and agriculture. The AGG will not distribute germplasm internationally if it cannot meet the recipient country's importation or quarantine requirements.
The Australian Grains Genebank online seed catalogue is through GRIN-Global.
The AGG has implemented an administration fee to cover some of the costs associated with processing and distributing requested germplasm. The fee will apply to all requests received from:
- Any requestor from developed countries, excluding Australia
- Any private sector companies outside of Australia
- Any national or international individual or entity when requesting more than 1,000 accessions in a single request or more than 1,000 accessions per annum.
The processing fee includes an administration fee of A$45.00 per request and A$3.00 per accession, as well as costs associated with phytosanitary certificates and shipping for international seed distribution.
