Accelerating Sustainability
in Fresh Produce & Floral Industries

The IFPA New Zealand Sustainability Summit returns on 18 September 2025 as the premier platform for New Zealand’s fresh produce and floral sectors to accelerate their sustainability journey and secure their commercial future.

This purpose-built, one-day forum will bring together growers, exporters, retailers, marketers, solution providers, and industry influencers to unpack the critical forces reshaping our sector — from strategies to boost business resilience and succession, to climate-smart operations, circular packaging, regenerative practices, and emerging expectations in sustainability reporting.

Proudly sponsored by Muirs, this Summit underscores IFPA’s commitment to equipping businesses with the insights, partnerships, and frameworks to embed sustainability as a lever for growth, competitiveness, and industry leadership.
