FLORIBASE
Floribase is a
database of national (New Zealand) flower growers. It has been established by
the New Zealand Flower Growers Association (NZFGA) with financial assistance from the
Sustainable Farming Fund. The main purpose of the database is to provide a list
of grower contacts for Government Departments that are introducing regulations
which may directly affect flower growers. Initially these are expected to
relate to biosecurity issues and the Emissions Tradng Scheme. It is also
anticipated that the database will generate summary data that will be useful to
the floraculture industry in presenting submissions to Government and for
developing market strategies.
Individual data is protected
but summary data is available to contributing growers.
It is hoped that the data will
be kept current at relatively low cost by individual growers updating their
data on-line annually or when their situation changes.
