Plant import & post-entry quarantine
Plant import and post-entry quarantine into New Zealand.
Feasibility advice, import permits, logistics and phytosanitary work, then movement through a government-accredited post-entry quarantine facility, with testing and diagnostics. Tissue-culture bulk-up runs alongside quarantine where the crop allows, so material is ready to plant when it clears.
One connected programme
How plant material moves through New Zealand.
Import advice, quarantine, testing, propagation and variety protection, run end to end by the same team. Email and WhatsApp throughout; monthly reports during quarantine; full transparency start to finish.
Feasibility, permit applications, logistics and phytosanitary requirements.
Material moves through the government-accredited PEQ facility, with monthly reporting.
Virus testing and indexing, diagnostics, true-to-type checking, high-health programmes.
Initiation, multiplication and transfer — bulk-up alongside quarantine where possible.
PVR, Plant Breeders’ Rights, US plant patents and DUS testing — filed and maintained.
Photography of the accredited post-entry quarantine facility is an outstanding client deliverable. We will not show a stand-in for it — the whole point of this site is that the facilities are real.

Pipfruit, stonefruit, grapes, berries and citrus are the core programme — Malus, Prunus, Vitis, Fragaria, Rubus, Vaccinium and Citrus. Other genetics and ornamentals are handled case by case, from a single plant through to a national programme.
In many cases, yes. Tissue-culture bulk-up can run alongside the quarantine process, so there is propagated material ready when the plant clears.
