Research and Development
Citrus NZ oversees a levy‑funded programme of research, biosecurity, and technical initiatives to support the long‑term sustainability of the New Zealand citrus sector.
Strategic priorities are set by the Board, informed by grower input and supported by an independent Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), which provides technical advice to inform strategy.
Updates and summaries of technical work are shared through Citrus News, with more detailed information available to members via the member portal.
Government Liaison
Citrus NZ works closely with government agencies and sector partners on issues that affect growers, particularly those relating to market access, imports, and biosecurity.
Many of these matters are progressed through engagement between the Citrus NZ Board and Executive Manager and relevant agencies, often in partnership with Horticulture New Zealand and other grower groups.
