There’s an increasing demand for growers in Canterbury. 

A reliable water supply and cheaper land than Marlborough and Hawke's Bay are attracting horticulture suppliers to the region.

He told Mike Hosking it will help achieve the goal of doubling export values, and new opportunities mean fresh produce can continue to be supplied to New Zealand.
