New Zealand wonderful opportunity for horticulture
07 December, 2014, New Zealand, USA NEWS CORP
New Zealand government encourages innovation and invention in the horticulture sector. For example, the Primary Growth Partnership is a government-industry partnership, which was launched in 2009. The partnership has pledged NZ$477 million towards cutting-edge primary sector innovation. The New Zealand government research institute, Plant and Food Research, in association with New Zealand's Avocado Industry Council (AIC), has tested and proved a technology called Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DCA). The technology can commercially be used on avocados to prevent the fruit from ripening while in transit. The Ministry of Science and Innovation is funding a researcher to combat the PSA disease that has affected New Zealand's NZ$1 billion kiwifruit industry. The research is aimed at combatting the spread of the bacterium. The Journal of Food Technology finds great opportunities in organic farming here. Organic systems production is an important section of New Zealand's horticultural production, although currently it is a relatively small portion of total horticultural production. New Zealand's fertile soils, clean water and outstanding animal and plant health status make it an ideal place to grow organically. The industry body, Organics Aotearoa New Zealand, has set a target of growing the sector to $1 billion by 2013, with horticultural products poised to be a key component of increased production. New Zealand has approximately 80 organic pipfruit orchards, which is a 40 percent increase from 2006. Around five percent of New Zealand's exported kiwifruit and pipfruit is organic. Journal of Agricultural Economics and Sustainable Development reported that Organic vegetables (ie peas, sweet corn, carrots, potatoes and onions) are also high earning exports. Production of organic avocados, citrus fruit, berry fruits, stone fruit and feijoas is also steadily increasing. New Zealand also has a small and specialised flower industry. Its strengths include the quality of flowers and bulb exports, and an ability to supply the northern hemisphere during its off season. The industry's focus is on high quality and increasing the quantities of vibrantly coloured, well-formed new generations of existing varieties.
