The development of organic horticultural exports in New Zealand

Abstract

This report presents a summary of findings from a series of publications arising from the FRST Public Good Science Fund programme 'Optimum Development of Certified Organic Horticulture in New Zealand'. This research programme started in 1995, and in mid 1998 had completed three years of research into four regional case studies of organic export development. After summarising the findings of research conducted within the four regions, the report goes on to discuss the implications of these regionally-based findings for the development of optimum development scenarios which have implications for the development of organic food exporting in New Zealand as a whole.
