MPGA funded projects

One of the top priorities of Manitoba Pulse Growers Association is to fund research activities that will positively impact the farmer’s bottom line. Every year MPGA dedicates 30% to 40% of its gross revenue to scientific research. In 2010 MPGA is committing $400,000 to research activities at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, University of Manitoba, University of Guelph, Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initiatives, and Canadian International Grains Institute.

Since 2000 MPGA has committed $2,090,822 to scientific research, and has funded dozens of individual projects that have led to new varieties, improved agronomic practices, and the development of new pulse utilization methods.
