Certification – future direction

The Executive of Olives New Zealand (ONZ) has conducted a comprehensive review of its Certification program, with the outcome recommendating that Olives New Zealand moves to using the Australian Department of Primary Industries for future certification from and including 2012. The cost to the grower would be maintained at the current cost and the system would continue to be administered by ONZ’s Executive Officer. Members are invited to comment on the proposal. The full paper is available on the ONZ website http://www.olivesnz.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Certification-Future-Direction.pdf. All feedback or questions are welcome: please address these to the Executive Officer, [email protected] by the end of February.
