In our next article we will be introducing all of our awesome sponsors including the confirmed Principal Sponsor for 2023 the Horticentre Group.
Horticentre was established in 1981 ‘by growers for growers’. The business has grown from its early days of supporting covered crops in Auckland to a business that supports all horticultural crops in all regions. The catch phrase ‘by growers for growers’ has changed to ‘driving crop performance’ to reflect the ongoing value this business can add to a grower’s crop; well sourced, high-quality products and technical expertise that is second to none. The Horticentre Group consists of three well established brands; Horticentre, TasmanCrop and HortFertplus. The Horticentre Group is delighted to support the Grower2Grower Golf Day and the benefactor of that day the Hawke’s Bay Fruit Growers Association Charitable Trust.
