BSI Scientists Collaborate with Indian Growers on Kiwifruit Production
What happened
A team of scientists from BSI traveled to Nagaland, India, to assist local growers in improving green kiwifruit production. This effort is part of a collaborative agricultural initiative between New Zealand and India, aimed at developing the Green Kiwifruit Centre of Excellence in the region. The site represents conditions found where approximately 1,000 Indian growers cultivate kiwifruit.
Why it matters
The collaboration is supported by the India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, which prioritizes agricultural collaboration to boost productivity. Under this agreement, New Zealand benefits from reduced tariffs on kiwifruit crops.
