The kiwifruit industry welcomes Government co-investment in a new five-year programme to help growers produce higher yields of premium fruit, with less water, fewer nutrients and reduced environmental impact. The programme delivered by NZKGI and Zespri, Optimising Kiwifruit Land Use - More from Less, will help grow more value from existing orchards through on-orchard innovation, advanced decision-support tools, and applied science. It will support growers to improve their orchard performance and production, while strengthening the value of our kiwifruit exports to meet the strong market demand for our premium products. New Zealand has land capable of producing some of the best kiwifruit yields in the world but with limited suitable land in the right climates - co-investment of this kind helps bring innovation to growers faster and will build on the significant value kiwifruit delivers back to New Zealand 🥝🌱 The full media release can be read here: https://lnkd.in/enZ38xsM
