COGGO is a public company limited by guarantee, incorporated in 2000 to invest in Research & Development for the benefit of grain growers in Western Australia.
The Council of Grain Grower Organisations Ltd (COGGO) is the product of a vision held by innovative grain growers in Western Australia. In 1997, 10 Western Australian grain-grower organisations joined together to give local growers a voice and a stake in plant breeding.
In the same year, grower members took the first step in controlling their own future by voluntarily contributing 0.5% of their net farm-gate value of production for investment in plant breeding and associated R&D through COGGO. This contribution is playing a major role in assisting Western Australia to maintain its market competitiveness and viability in the grains industry.
