Our Food Future Horticulture Conference 2019

Tomatoes NZ: Learn about what makes New Zealand grown fresh tomatoes so good!

 

This week our “Food Future Horticulture Conference” is being held at Mystery Creek from Wednesday through to Friday (31st of July to 2nd August 2019).   As part of the conference, TomatoesNZ AGM will be held on Wednesday.  To coincide with this week’s conference TomatoesNZ have released two promotional videos.  They are great viewing and demonstrate to consumers the benefits of eating NZ grown tomatoes.  Click below to view:

 

Video 1: Learn about what makes New Zealand grown fresh tomatoes so good!

 

Video 2: Learn more about what labelling requirements are needed for imported fresh tomatoes into New Zealand and why it's important to help our consumers to make informed decisions.
