83rd NZ Chinese Growers Conference Dinner – Auckland 2025
Celebrating Chinese Vegetable Growers, Heritage, and Horticulture in New Zealand
The Dominion Federation of NZ Chinese Commercial Growers invites you to our 83rd Annual Conference Dinner, being held on Monday, 29 September 2025, at Grand Park Chinese Seafood Restaurant, Alexandra Park, Auckland.
Since 1943, the Federation has represented a unique group of Chinese vegetable growers and primary producers across New Zealand. Our members are multi-generational family businesses supplying fresh produce to communities nationwide, from South Auckland to Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, Ohakune, Northland, and Christchurch.
The Conference Dinner is the highlight of our year — a celebration of heritage, food, and community. This special evening brings together growers, families, industry leaders, and supporters of New Zealand's horticulture sector.
