Introducing…Jim Grierson – President of the International Blackcurrant Association.

We are honoured to have Jim Grierson coming to the 2012 Sarau Festival. Jim has been working with the NZ Blackcurrant industry as a Crop Advisor (Agronomist) for 30 years. He is also an advisor to growers in Australia, Ireland, England and Denmark.
