Roadmap set to double hort exports by 2035
It's critical that the horticulture sector works together as part of a goal to double the sector’s exports by 2035.
Three director positions are available this year, following the retirement of Barry O'Neil and Hugh Ritchie - both having completed their maximum terms - and the decision by Kathryn de Bruin to step down.
"Horticulture is a crucial industry for New Zealand, and director elections give growers a real say in the direction of the industry good body," says Bernadine Guilleux, chair of HortNZ.
"We're encouraging growers to think about the candidates who will best reflect the diversity of the sector - from different crops and regions to varied backgrounds and perspectives."
To be eligible, candidates must be active growers, or a director, shareholder, trustee or employee of an active grower.
Nominations close Monday 9 June.
