growing allium crops

We are privileged in Aotearoa, New Zealand to be able to grow a wide range of winter vegetables and crops throughout the year and although growers are faced with a multitude of challenges regardless of where they are in the country, over 90%* of many of our largest crops are grown for the domestic market. Indeed New Zealand is self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables.

Growing allium crops, such as onions (the second-largest export crop in Aotearoa, New Zealand), is an essential part of our horticultural production. With ongoing pressure from markets to reduce synthetic inputs and improve crop performance, many commercial growers are turning to biological tools to optimise their systems.
