🌏 Last week, our Global Sales Manager, Benjamin Lay, attended ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA in Hong Kong, where he enjoyed reconnecting with current customers, potential future partners, and industry friends. Despite a brief delay due to a Typhoon warning, the show was a great success. With over 600 exhibitors from 38 countries, showcasing the best in fresh produce. Events like this are invaluable for us at NZAC - they allow us to share our story and bring more of our premium, sustainably grown avocados from our pristine orchards directly to your tables. We’re excited about the new opportunities ahead! #nzavocadocollective #avocados #AsiaFruitLogistica #NZAvocados #SustainableFarming #NewZealand

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Andy, our NZTE Customer Manager, at our beautiful orchards in the Far North of New Zealand. It’s always a great experience to introduce our friends to the amazing team that puts so much effort into growing one of the world’s most remarkable fruits: the avocado. Each visit highlights the special connection between the land, the people who care for it, and the delicious avocados that result. Thank you to Claudia Hermosilla and the team 🙏 #nzavocadocollective #avocados #team #newzealand

Nothing beats a crisp winter walk through our stunning avocado orchards in Northland, New Zealand - one of the most pristine growing environments on the planet 🥑 As our Chief Avocado Orchardist, Claudia Hermosilla says, "This is one of the most beautiful offices to work in, with a pretty spectacular view." Today, Claudia Hermosilla and Benjamin Lay, our Global Sales Manager, are checking the growth of our new season's fruit. Our team takes great pride in growing and preparing food as it should be - avocados you can feel good about eating. We look forward to delivering another season of delicious, high-quality NZ Avocado Collective avocados directly from our orchards to your table. #nzavocadocollective #avocados #newseason #newzealandavocados #newzealand

As Autumn arrives, it marks a pivotal moment that we’re nearing the end of our 23-24 avocado season. While the new fruit for our 24-25 season ripens beautifully, awaiting the next harvest.   Sharing a glimpse into our operations, here's a photo featuring our General Manager, Jarrod Redwood, checking out our new season fruit, alongside our hard-working harvest team upon one of our stunning Northland orchards. #nzavocadocollective #avocados #harvest #team

Our NZ Avocado Collective purpose is centered around big picture thinking, with a commitment to sustainable practices and innovative solutions that aim to improve the avocado industry as a whole. Did you know? Between 10 and 15 percent of avocados grown in New Zealand fall into the category of process grade — avocados that, while perfectly nutritious, might be deemed too small or not quite attractive enough for supermarket shelves. We are tackling the challenge of utilising these imperfectly perfect avocados to their fullest potential, tapping into the goodness of the entire fruit — flesh, skin, and stone. Our goal is to transform these avocados into a longer-lasting, more versatile, and sustainable food ingredient. Please let us introduce you to OVĀVO... #nzavocadocollective #avocado #newzealand #newzealandbusiness
