Abstract

The objective of this survey was to provide the New Zealand Vegetable and Produce Growers' Federation and individual growers with data and trends on costs and returns for process peas and beans; to provide a basis for pre- season price discussions with processors; and to provide growers with data to aid in improving management and for future planning. Parts III and IV of this report include the results for process peas and beans respectively. Part V makes some comparisons between the two crops and Appendices I and II contain methodology details and costs and returns on a district basis. The districts delineated were Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Christchurch for both peas and beans and Timaru for peas only.
