The NZKGI Annual General Meeting 2026 is a grower governance meeting held Thursday 20 August 2026, 11:00 am–12:00 pm at Mercury Baypark, Mount Maunganui, run by New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Incorporated (NZKGI), the advocacy body for the country's kiwifruit growers.
The New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Incorporated (NZKGI) Annual General Meeting brings kiwifruit growers together to review the organisation's performance and help shape its future. NZKGI presents financial statements, shares updates on key initiatives and outlines its strategic direction, and growers can ask questions and provide feedback.
The AGM is held on Thursday 20 August 2026, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm, at Mercury Baypark, 81 Truman Lane, Mount Maunganui. The venue sits in the Tauranga / Mount Maunganui area of the Bay of Plenty — the heart of New Zealand's kiwifruit-growing region — served by Tauranga Airport, with local accommodation and transport across the wider Tauranga area. NZKGI's notice indicates the AGM is scheduled alongside related industry meetings at the same venue.
New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Incorporated (NZKGI), formed in 1994, is the advocacy body representing all of New Zealand's kiwifruit growers, working to advocate, protect and enhance growers' commercial and political interests.
As the governance centrepiece for a major Bay of Plenty horticultural sector, the NZKGI AGM is a recurring fixture that anchors grower engagement in the region and draws members into Mount Maunganui for the day.
