NCGA (Northland Cymbidium Growers Association)
NCGA was formed in 2007 with the primary purpose of organising field-days for cymbidium growers in Northland. In 2012 responsibility for this was passed over to the national association, NZEGO which formed a sub-committee to carry on the work.  In addition to the field-days NCGA coordinated the collection of funds from Northland growers to pay for their share of the administrative work required by MAFBNZ and consultants to implement the LBAM (Light Brown Apple Moth) Compliance Programme in relation to continued market access to the USA.  The Association also undertook the national survey and prepared the report for submission to ERMA (now EPA) on Dichlorvos.
