HortNZ Welcomes $400 Million Boost for State Highway Resilience
Horticulture NZ says the funding boost to improve state highway resilience will support growers and strengthen the transport links they rely on to get produce to market.

The awards are:
The Bledisloe Cup - awarded for an outstanding and meritorious contribution to the New Zealand horticulture industry.
The HortNZ President's Trophy - to celebrate inspiring leadership within the horticulture industry.
The HortNZ Industry Service Award - to recognise people with long and dedicated service in a supplier or service role (not a grower) that have worked beyond the call of duty for the betterment of the horticulture industry.
And the HortNZ Life Member - to recognise growers with long and dedicated service as office holders of HortNZ and/or an affiliated Product Group or affiliated Grower Association.
Nominations must be received by 5pm on Thursday 16 June 2016.
