Grow
We’re Growers Too

Kaiaponi’s focus is, and will continue to be, growing fruit on orchards within the Tairāwhiti region. Our first-hand experience has taught us that no season is the same and we are constantly refining our growing practices to produce fruit of the highest quality.

We understand the challenges

Our years of experience from operating within the region has allowed Kaiaponi to build up valuable knowledge which we enjoy sharing with our growing partners.

A collaborative approach and our efficient supply model produces high quality fruit and market leading returns for our growers.

Our in-house team support our growing partners across technical growing advice, orchard monitoring & compliance, orchard labour coordination and practical orchard field days.
