FAQs

We are committed to our Growers, the Kiwifruit industry and community in which we operate.

Do you pack fruit from outside the region?

Yes – part of our strategic approach is to maintain geographic diversification. In 2025, 37% of our crop came from outside of Katikati. We currently receive fruit from Tauranga, Te Puke, Edgecumbe, Hawke’s Bay, Waikato, South Auckland, Whanganui, and Kerikeri.

What automation do you have in the packhouse?

Our packhouse uses advanced automation for box making, packing, folding, lidding, labelling, and stacking. This technology allows us to operate with high efficiency, maximising throughput while maintaining premium packout quality.

How does your performance compare to the industry?

Over the past three years, our Orchard Gate Returns (OGRs) have consistently outperformed the industry average.
