New Zealand needs exciting stars in its food and beverage export basket - products which epitomize our country brand values of pure, healthy, clean, green and sustainable. New Zealand-grown Blackcurrants convey all of these values.
I believe our Blackcurrant industry can be world leaders in the same way as our wines, kiwifruit and other export stars. And I congratulate the NZ Blackcurrant industry on its overall vision, on its innovation and excellence in plant breeding, research, product development and marketing. New Zealand's Blackcurrant industry is a potential trailblazer for other New Zealand industries and indeed for the world's Blackcurrant industry at large.
