Since 1943, we have advocated for the NZ Chinese growers.
A rich history of sucess through adversity
The Dominion Federation of New Zealand Chinese Commercial Growers Inc. was established on 15th January 1943 at the suggestion of Prime Minister Peter Fraser. This incorporated society was formed to support New Zealand’s wartime effort by supplying vegetables to the Allied forces. The New Zealand government required a national Chinese organisation to negotiate the supply of green leafy vegetables, leading to the creation of the Federation, the world's only national Chinese growers’ organisation.
The Federation's mission is to protect the rights of Chinese growers and farmers in New Zealand, unite their efforts, and promote their commercial interests. It plays a crucial role in exchanging information, informing growers of new developments in the horticulture and agriculture industry, and representing their interests in all dealings with the government, retailers, and market organisations.
The Federation supports sustainable farming practices in NZ, encourages organic farming among its members, and stays updated with agricultural technology innovations. It is dedicated to enhancing the Kiwi farming community by fostering agricultural innovation and promoting sustainable crop production and livestock management.
