Annual Report

HortNZ Annual Report for 2024/25

If there's one word that sums up the past year in New Zealand horticulture, it's resilience.

Resilience in the way growers have worked tirelessly to recover -- successfully -- from the devastation brought by Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023. 

Resilience in the face of rising costs, legislative reform, biosecurity threats such as the Oriental fruit fly and unpredictable weather events.

For growers, this resilience is grounded in a strong connection to place, a commitment to growing, and a practical approach to tackling even the toughest challenges.

We thank our growers for their resilience, expertise and passion -- for giving HortNZ the space to help shape the future of New Zealand horticulture.

Our Annual Report to 31 March 2025 provides a summary of the horticulture industry over the last twelve months.
