The new president of the Guernsey Committee for Horticulture believes that the way ahead for the growing industry is to develop partnership agreements.

Bill Robilliard sees it as his duty to provide the industry with encouragement, confidence to invest and assist in increasing export trade. He believes that creating new markets is the lifeblood of the industry.

Robilliard revealed that horticultural exports have risen by 20 per cent in the last three years and could top £50 million this year.
