Opening speaker, Plant and Food chief operating officer Bruce Campbell welcomed members to the 2022 conference held in Hawkes' Bay, congratulating them on achieving their billion-dollar goal and explained the strategy for success.

The next three speakers were also export focused before the conference broke for Pipfruit New Zealand's annual general meeting.
