The plan belongs to everyone in the horticultural sector
Launched in 2023, the Aotearoa Horticulture Action Plan was developed collectively, with input from industry, government, Māori and research providers. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) contributed to the development of the plan and is actively involved in progressing its implementation.
The plan provides a guiding compass to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling the farmgate value of horticultural production by 2035 in a way that improves prosperity for our people and protects our environment.
The plan creates efficiencies by allowing everyone involved with the horticulture sector to align efforts and investment towards common actions.
