Where we come from

Our story

Rooted in Bundaberg, trusted across Australia

AgPD was established in Bundaberg, Queensland, with a clear purpose: to give agchem companies access to a truly independent, professional, confidential and secure agricultural research facility capable of delivering consistent, high-quality trial data year-round.

With over 30 years’ experience, we have deep expertise across horticultural, broadacre, ornamental, pasture and forestry crops – growing our facilities, our team and our reputation as Queensland crop trial specialists.

Today we partner with clients across Australia and internationally, conducting agricultural contract trials that set a new benchmark for data integrity and reporting standards.
