NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE

Pure, natural and innovation-led; taste the difference
Whether it’s a sweet, juicy apple or a perfect avocado, New Zealand produce reflects a culture of care – for people, planet, and flavour.

New Zealand grown, naturally good
Our produce is shaped by a temperate climate, fertile soils and clean air – the ideal conditions for growing fresh, flavourful and nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables.

Taste, purity, provenance
New Zealand growers produce more than 100 varieties of fruit and vegetables each year. More than 120 international markets enjoy our kiwifruit, apples, cherries, avocados, onions, squash, garlic, tomatoes and asparagus.

Innovative horticulture
New Zealand’s breeding programmes continue to develop nutrient-dense varieties of blackcurrants, kūmara and other produce, supporting modern wellness through functional nutrition.

Grown with integrity and care
New Zealand growers embrace low-intervention and biodiversity-friendly farming practices. Along with stringent biosecurity regulations, this ensures our leadership in sustainable horticulture.

Safe and transparent from crop to customer
New Zealand’s Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) assurance programmes give consumers confidence in the integrity of every horticulture product.
