Your industry group

The New Zealand Walnut Industry Group is here to help you. NZWIG's aims include encouraging discussion and learning with publications (including your manual) and field days. We also instigate research projects and work with the research team as they search for answers to key questions for growers.

But NZWIG is not just for growers. We welcome all stakeholders in the walnut industry and draw on their expertise.

In the next few years The New Zealand Walnut Industry Group will focus on these goals:

• To establish and promote quality standards for propagation, growing, harvesting, processing and sales and marketing.

• To achieve and maintain a stable industry through collaboration between propagators, growers processors and retailers.

• To provide information, including benchmarking, education and social contact to enhance our members' skills.

• To create high market awareness that New Zealand-grown walnuts are a superior product.

• To increase our knowledge of propagation, growing, harvesting, post-harvest handling and processing.
