New Zealand has an opportunity to be a world leader in horticulture technology, says Sebastian Chapman, chief executive and co-founder of FruitMinder.

The company, based in Central Otago, is developing a smart app that will map data from individual fruit trees and enable orchardists to provide specialist care for each plant.

Late last year the company was given  $44,680 by the Ministry for Primary Industries’ Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund to help with FruitMinder’s development.
