NZAPI Update

There’s plenty happening across the horticulture sector as we head into winter.

Congratulations to Central Otago Young Grower of the Year winner Luke St John, who will now progress to the national final later this year. Closer to home, we’re looking forward to welcoming competitors, sponsors and supporters to the Hawke’s Bay Young Fruit Grower of the Year competition on 18–19 June.

NZAPI has also announced details for its Annual Conference and AGM, taking place in Queenstown on 22–23 July. The conference is a fantastic opportunity to hear industry updates, connect with growers and sector leaders, and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing New Zealand horticulture.

Members can also save the date for the Orchard Research Review on 2 July, which will showcase the latest orchard-based research and provide an opportunity to contribute to future industry priorities.
