Production horticulture is a very diverse industry which can provide an interesting and exciting career for those seeking outdoor work involving growing and harvesting fruit or vegetables.

Production horticulture businesses produce fresh and dried fruit and vegetables for local markets, processing and exporting. The range of produce is vast and could include many varieties of different fruits, nuts and vegetables.

Many production horticulture businesses operate as farms growing vegetables, while others are based on extensive orchards. Some businesses are intensive and grow fruit, vegetables and mushrooms in controlled environmental conditions.

The wide variation in methods of fruit and vegetable cultivation means that qualifications are available under either an agriculture or horticulture designation.
