The chief executive of Pipfruit NZ talks about the growth in the apple industry in recent years, as it aims to become a billion dollar export earner by 2022.
Alan Pollard is here to talk about apples. Alan is the chief executive of Pipfruit NZ but not for much longer...he's staying put but the company's name is up for a change.

The apple industry is hoping to become a billion dollar export by 2022. Does is have what it takes?
More importantly - which apples should you grow if you want in on the action?
