  • Summary

  • Horticulture New Zealand is pushing the government to follow through with its veggie production commitments.

    A new Institute of Economic Research report reveals prices could skyrocket under proposed regulations to reduce nitrogen runoff, with broccoli potentially jumping to $9 a head.
