HortNZ Organic Grower Catch-up (20 Nov 2026)

Fri, 20 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Join us for our quarterly catch-up, where we aim to provide the latest information on issues that matter to organic growers.

12.00pm–1.00pm on Friday, 20 November 2026

While there are no big updates on our end this time around, these catch-ups are an opportunity to hear directly from you as organic growers. I want to understand the challenges you're facing, identify where HortNZ can better support the organic sector, and help us to ensure organic grower voices are represented in policy and industry discussions.

I’ve reached out to MPI to see if they have any updates.

Please email matt.watson@hortnz.co.nz if you have any suggested items for the agenda.
