Last week the Government announced their freshwater policy reforms with a $700m funding package 'that will create jobs and benefit the value of New Zealand's agriculture export and tourism offerings'.
We are arranging a webinar to present the key points of the reforms that will be of interest to summerfruit growers. As soon as details have been finalised we will be in touch to let you know how you can take part.
Details on what areas of freshwater policy will be targeted and the plans to implement them can be found in the Ministers' media statement here.
Horticulture NZ welcomed the news saying the Government's decisions around freshwater recognise the importance of growing fresh fruit and vegetables in this country.
