OCIRC
Driving grain and pulse research through strategic synergies and connections that strengthen the agri-food value chain.
The Ontario Cereal Industry Research Council (OCIRC) is a unique, industry funded collaboration. Since 2004, OCIRC has been driving grain and pulse research that benefits the entire agri-food value chain from producers to consumers.
OCIRC uses contributions from the membership to leverage research funds. These funds are used to support a unique and robust research program, under the direction of Dr. Iris Joye and her team from the University of Guelph’s Cereal Science and Technology Research Group.
OCIRC also provides technical troubleshooting for cereal, milling and processing operations, using on-site data collection, trials, and in-depth analysis.
Vision: Together with our research partners, we are global collaborators in grains and pulse research that benefits the agri-food value chain.
Mission: To drive collaborative research that addresses diverse consumer needs and enhances sustainability across the agri-food value chain.
