Promotion
Promotion activities for fresh vegetables are overseen by the fresh vegetable promotions committee. This committee is made up of representatives from the Fresh Vegetable Product Group, the Potato Product Group, and Fresh Tomatoes Product Group.
Promotion activities undertaken by this committee are generic in that promotion is for fresh vegetables generally rather than being crop specific. The main promotion tool is the fresh vegetables website at www.vegetables.co.nz.
Generic vegetable promotion strategy
