Thank you to the Growers who were able to attend last night’s meeting on recent wind events. Reporting on this meeting and further actions being taken by industry will follow early tomorrow.
An action-requiring immediate grower feedback is communicating to NZ Food Network which BOP orchards are available to supply fallen fruit to charity. The NZ Food Network is able to assist with collecting the fruit and distributing it to organisations such as food banks nationwide.
Please respond by Friday 2pm if you are willing have a team of collectors come onto your orchard.
Caveats to this option exist, where NZ Avocado will help verify those orchards that have passed all NZ Pre-Harvest Intervals to manage food safety.
Further details will be provided for those who register to be involved in this initiative.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact info@nzavocado.co.nz
If you would like to donate your fruit please fill in the form below.
