The Winter Cereal Trust is divided to two separate trust, namely, the\u00a0Winter Cereal General Trust\u00a0and the\u00a0Winter Cereal Research Trust. Both the trusts were founded in 1997, the year in which the Wheat Board, a statutory institution responsible for South Africa\u2019s agricultural activities, was phased out. The Winter Cereal General Trust aims to provide financial support for scientific, technical and industrial research regarding winter cereals production in South Africa. The Winter Cereal Research Trust intends to directly participate to research about winter cereal for the industry interest of South Africa. Winter cereal includes wheat, barley, oats, rye, durum wheat and triticale.<\/p>\n
