about us

Citrus New Zealand represents New Zealand’s citrus growers.
We are an incorporated society with over 330 members.

We work to improve the future for New Zealand’s citrus growers. Our vision is to be an enduring, thriving and innovative sector that supports New Zealand citrus growers, to empower and support growers to sustainably maximise grower productivity and profitability.

Citrus New Zealand also provides information for and about the citrus industry, and a forum for the discussion of industry issues. We work with Horticulture NZ on issues that affect our sector.

Our Board

Citrus New Zealand is governed by six directors. Our research committee provides guidance on technical and scientific matters and we play an active role in research and development, and liaise with government to support the citrus industry.

Research

Research and Development

We manage a research and development programme funded by grower levies. Priorities are set each year by our members and guided by the R&D Committee. Summaries of our research are published in Citrus News, and full reports are available through our member portal. If you’re not a member but would like a report, please contact us.

Government Liaison

We work closely with government and other agencies on issues that affect growers. Even topics that may seem far from the orchard can have a significant impact on growers’ businesses. Many issues are addressed in partnership with HortNZ and other grower groups—for example, reducing barriers to export markets and protecting New Zealand from biosecurity threats such as fruit fly, citrus canker, and citrus greening.
