Horticulture and Arable Monitoring Report 2007
The Horticulture and Arable Monitoring Report 2007 provides information on the production and financial status of growers and arable farmers, as well as trends, issues and sector concerns.
In Part 1, the report examines four issues that the horticultural and arable sectors are grappling with as they work to ensure a sustainable future and remain ahead of major competitors: labour; developing new plant varieties; sustainable management systems; and research funding.
In Part 2, the report presents models that typify average:
- Canterbury arable farms;
- kiwifruit orchards;
- Hawkes Bay and Nelson pipfruit orchards;
- Hawkes Bay and Marlborough vineyards.
Each model presents budget figures for the last complete season, and a forecast for the current or upcoming season. Forecasts and budgets are based on grower views collected in May 2007, augmented with input from those servicing the sectors.
Part 2 also contains commentaries on:
- process and fresh vegetables;
- export fruit;
- maize;
- apiculture.
