NZ Agribusiness Centre launched

Independent National Fieldays Society company; NZ Agribusiness Centre recently acquired NZ Agritech Inc, a group of kiwi agricultural exporters set up in 1994 to assist its members to achieve export growth. A significant role of NZ Agritech was arranging group participation in major agricultural shows internationally; NZABC will continue to build on NZ Agritech's progress and aims to bridge the gap for exporters even further.

As part of National Fieldays Society and responsible for the international exhibition area and business visitor lounge at the Fieldays event, NZABC is perfectly aligned to be able to work with both New Zealand exporters and overseas customers year round.

The NZ Agribusiness Centre has formed to provide pooled resource and expertise to coordinate commercial opportunities and implement marketing activities for New Zealand's agricultural businesses within the country and most importantly, abroad.

The NZABC aims to be known as an advocate for the industry on issues such as bio security, accessing funds for business growth and promoting to the world the amazing capabilities New Zealand has to offer.

Benefits to members include: § NZABC arranging attendance and visibility as a group at a range of international agricultural events, providing an affordable way for NZ agribusinesses to promote themselves internationally.

§ NZABC facilitates visits to New Zealand for international agricultural visitors, and offers an introductory service to connect overseas agricultural customers to members.
§ NZABC organises a range of networking and intra-industry events and discussions, to develop relationships with others in the industry and build capability through mentoring and knowledge sharing.
§ A variety of advertising and promotional opportunities for NZ agricultural companies, and access to industry research and information. For further information on NZ Agribusiness Centre visit www.nzagribusinesscentre.co.nz
