The purpose of these workshops will be to seek input from PNZ members in order to establish a common fact base for the New Zealand potato industry, as well as to identify opportunities and threats to the industry. The workshops will seek to verify and update the currently held view of the industry based on teh work that has been done in this area in the last few year. Champak Mehta, CEO, PNZ and Dr James Morrison of Morrison Consulting will be facilitating the workshops.
