‘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.本研究旨在达成两大目标：其一，证实南部高降雨区（High Rainfall Zone South, HRZ South）可生产高品质乌冬面（Udon Noodles），并提升其在专属市场中的供应持续性。迄今为止，西澳大利亚州（Western Australia, WA）的中降雨区（Medium Rainfall Zone, MRZ）与低降雨区（Low Rainfall Zone, LRZ）始终是面向国际市场的乌冬面专属供应区域，且该州是日本与韩国乌冬面生产所用小麦原粮的唯一外部供应来源；其二，为南部高降雨区提供更具长远性的作物轮作多样性与可选方案。注：当前占主导地位的YIYO油菜（canola）-大麦轮作模式正面临愈发严峻的病害与化学抗药性威胁。
