Now is the time for NZPPI members to talk to their younger workers about entering the newly renamed Young Plant Producer of the Year competition.
As we announced last month, Young Achiever is now called Young Plant Producer to better reflect our industry and the event itself.
The Young Plant Producer of the Year 2023 competition will be held at Lincoln University on July 18 and 19 (moved from the initial dates of 27 and 28)
People aged under 30 as of December 2023 working in plant production should start thinking now about entering the competition and for managers to identify and support people to apply.
Competitors receive an invaluable boost of experience, industry insight and mentorship, plus the chance to win a $4000 fund to advance their career.
The winner also gains automatic entry to the Young Horticulturist of the Year award where they compete against finalists from the entire horticulture sector, vying for a prize pool worth more than $20,000.
Entries for Young Plant Producer 2023 will open on April 10. The new Plant Producer Of the Year website is available here.
