Declan Graham | “Pic’s Peanut Butter to trial growing peanuts in Northland”
As part of this week’s “Change Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Declan Graham from Plant & Food Research explains the research behind the trial of growing peanuts in Northland.
Pic’s Peanut Butter has kicked off a project to look at the feasibility of growing peanuts commercially in Northland, with backing from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).
The project will trial growing peanuts in three locations – Ruawai on a kumara farm, Poutu Peninsular near Dargaville, and on Māori land in the Kai Iwi Lakes district. If successful, peanut farming could bring new employment opportunities to the Northland region.
