HITO
Horticultural Industry Training Organisation (HITO) was established to provide training opportunities for the New Zealand horticultural sector. In 2014 it was merged with a number of similar organisations which were providing training to other parts of the primary production (agriculture etc.) sector.  The combined organisation is known as the Primary ITO. Training opportunities include certificate training in floriculture and related topics but not specific training in cymbidium production.  Certificate training is focussed on production issues with topics relating to business management being covered by a diploma course www.primaryito.ac.nz/qualifications/diploma-agribusiness-management.  The link to the Primary ITO website is: www.primaryito.ac.nz.
