Horticulture
Horticulture contributes an impressive amount to New Zealand’s GDP. It’s a contribution that sees us gain international acclaim for our fresh kiwifruit, apples and pears. In 2007, New Zealand had over 66,000 hectares planted in outdoor fruit crops. The largest crops were:
| Grapes | 29,616 ha |
| Kiwifruit | 13,250 ha |
| Apples | 9,247 ha |
