“This is fantastic news for the Palmerston North research sector.
“It will increase the networks of FoodHQ and the Riddet Institute as they work with organisations around the country to improve the value-add of our products.

“I am delighted to see Palmerston North continue to lead the way in AgResearch in New Zealand and look forward to seeing the success this programme brings.
