Young Plant Producer is back for 2024, so now is the time for NZPPI members to talk to their younger workers about entering the Young Plant Producer of the Year competition.
The Young Plant Producer of the Year 2024 competition will be held at Lincoln University on Tuesday, July 9, and Wednesday, July 10.
People aged under 30 as of December 2024 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 careers.
The winner also gains automatic entry to the Young Horticulturist of the Year competition, 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 2024 will open on April 1 and close on April 21. To access an application form, head over to the Young Plant Producer website here.
