Welcome to our environment section. New Zealand has a well established image as a clean, green country. On the back of this image we promote our biggest contributor to our GDP in agriculture. Agriculture relies on this clean, green image to achieve the best price for kiwi produce in foreign markets. It is our responsibility to protect this image for future generations not just so they can enjoy beautiful countryside but also for the future prosperity which is heavily linked to agricultural exports. Our environment section will contain articles and news relating to the environment and sustainable farming practices.
If you have any environmental related articles or news you’d like us to publish please send them to contribute@ruraltrader.co.nz
