During the 2008 Harvest, NZKGI filmed and developed Best Practice for Harvesting DVD that will provide 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 supervisors 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.
