UPDATED 23 FEBRUARY 2011 - During the 2008 Harvest, NZKGI filmed and developed Best Practice for Harvesting DVD that provides growers and post-harvest operators with a training tool to help train new growers, supervisors, contractors and pickers in the principles of best practice for harvesting.

The development of the DVD has highlighted the need to also provide some written fact sheets to provide extra information to growers and picking supervisors on best practice picking that could not be portrayed clearly in the DVD format. These fact sheets were sent to all growers along with a free copy of the DVD in late February 2009. If you would like a copy of this DVD please contact NZKGI's Office for a copy to be sent out to you.

• Fact Sheet: Minimising Physical Damage During Harvest – GOLD
• Fact Sheet: Minimising Physical Damage During Harvest – GREEN
