We’ve been on site at the Zespri Momentum 2026 conference the last few days, connecting with growers and industry partners from our exhibition stand, and the events’ presentations and workshops.

As one of the many exhibitors at the conference, our stand provided a space to talk biosecurity, share practical resources, and answer questions about how we support growers every day.

We enjoyed great conversations about readiness for exotic pests and diseases, the importance of early reporting, and we had many samples of our biggest threats on-hand to get up and close with – including Yellow-legged hornets and nests, stink bugs, and even some spotted lanternflies. Visitors to the stand could also take part in a prize draw and win handy tools designed to support on‑orchard spotting and reporting.

Our visual pest ID cards where a big hit and if you collected some on the day and want more – or you’re your first set - please get in touch and we’ll post them to you.

Momentum was a valuable opportunity to connect face‑to‑face, and we appreciated the chance to hear directly from growers while being part of a wider industry event focused on the future of kiwifruit.
