ABOUT PLANT CAREERS

Plant Careers is the movement to raise awareness of the importance of plants and the career opportunities in plant production.

Plant Careers is an initiative of New Zealand Plant Producers Incorporated (NZPPI) which is the industry body for plant producers. NZPPI is proud of the plant production industry, which is made up of approximately 450 nurseries generating an estimated $500 million each year and employing around 4000 people.

Overcoming a long-term skills shortage is a key priority for NZPPI.  We are working to encourage people to pursue training and careers in areas such as plant propagation and growing, research and development, operations and logistics, and innovation and agritech.
