The History of the Pulse Association of the South East
The objective of PASE is to enhance economic viability, environmental sustainability, and crop variety in the Esperance Port Zone.
About pase
The Pulse Association of the South East (PASE), is a not- for – profit association which currently represents around 70 growers of pulses in the Esperance Port Zone (EPZ).
The goal of PASE is to increase the profitability, sustainability, and diversity of pulses to provide multiple benefits in the EPZ.
PASE plans to achieve this through pricing discovery, capturing innovation within the industry, identifying agronomy R & D needs for pulse crops, promote agronomic and economic benefits of growing pulses and showcase the integration of pulses within farming systems in the EPZ.
