Close links backed for fruit industry
A close alliance is needed between horticulturists and export companies, the Minister of Overseas Trade, Mr Mike Moore, told guests at the centennial dinner of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers’ Association in Christchurch last evening. The value of horticultural products produced in Canterbury would reach $lOO million between 1995 and 2005. In eight years Canterbury would take over from Nel-
son as New Zealand’s biggest exporter of apples, Mr Moore said. To take advantage of the expanding horticultural trade, growers and exporters must realise each group had its own job to do, he said. “Learn to trust each other.” The growers’ job was consistently to produce fruit that- looked and tasted good, for this was what' the customer wanted.
