Welcome to New Zealand Organics...
...New Zealand
Organics Ltd was established in 1991. The company is a division of The
Fresh Fruit Company of New Zealand Ltd (Freshco),
an exporter of a diverse range of fresh fruit and vegetables.
New
Zealand Organics Ltd was early to see an opportunity to be involved
in the international trade of organic produce and initially developed
exports of New Zealand organic squash, kiwifruit, avocados and berryfruit.
As we start the new millennium we are seeing a worldwide increase in
the production of organic produce together with growth in the organic
retail sector. We have no doubt that the demand for organic produce
will continue and in response to this New Zealand Organics Ltd is now
developing markets for fresh New Zealand organically grown apples and
Kiwifruit.
In April 1997, in recognition of our specialised efforts
to market organic produce, New Zealand Organics was granted an export
consent to market organic apples. This was followed by the granting
of a kiwifruit licence in March 1998. The activities of New Zealand
Organics Ltd are totally independent of ENZA and Zespri International.
Recent
years have seen dramatic changes internationally in the Organics Industry.
Demand for healthier, safer food is increasing
and organically grown food absolutely satisfies this need. Organic production
is now a commercial alternative but for growth to take place it must
be viable for all participants, namely growers, marketers, retailers
and consumers.
Our success will be measured on our product's eating quality, nutritional
value, appearance, shelf life and organic integrity. We can offer you
organic produce that fits all the above criteria.
New Zealand is an ideal place to produce organically grown foods. The
same attitudes and skills of our growers who brought New Zealand from a small, isolated
sheep farming country to a world renowned producer of the finest horticultural products
still prevail.
