All individual information will be kept confidential. You are not obliged to reveal your identifying details for the purposes of this survey. We do ask if you are interested in joining future collaborative marketing arrangements, but you can provide your contact detail separately for that purpose.

The anonymised survey data will be securely stored to enable NZTA to analyse trends and development in the industry. A summary of the responses to this survey, (and future surveys) will be provided to all members through the NZ Truffle Association website. This survey is divided into four parts – the first is the introduction, the second is about the number and species of trees and truffles, the third for growers who are producing truffles (in order to estimate total NZ production levels), and the fourth about your feedback on the NZ Truffle Association.

Thank you for providing feedback. We will provide a summary of the results on the NZTA website.
