The Consumer The Supermarket The Grower Conclusion IFP is the best response for New Zealand export fruit growers to both consumer trends and environmental concerns.

European agriculture is dominated by small holdings. Like New Zealand declining product prices in real terms are forcing farms to amalgamate and large units are producing an increasing percentage of the output.
