NEXT I’s of Potatoes meeting
Palmerston North
Potatoes New Zealand (PNZ) identifies younger people in the potato industry (generally under 40) to give them opportunities to meet together and discuss issues of interest.
We wish to engage not just with those in growing enterprises but with all younger folk who have an interest in the potato industry.
This is a crucial part of our Leadership & Training programme and fits with PNZ’s purpose of providing leadership in the areas of sustainability, industry profile and communication.
Why “I’s of Potatoes”?
PNZ’s values are to behave in a way that;
- is INCLUVSIVE
- provides INSPIRATION
- demonstrates INTEGRITY
That is what we want to achieve with young people in the industry.
