The New Zealand pipfruit crop has been re-estimated after Cyclone Gabrielle affected parts of the East Coast of the North Island.
New Zealand Apples & Pears Inc says Cyclone Gabrielle has left the Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne apple industry in an unprecedented position.
More than 250 growers, suppliers, industry leaders and government officials from around the country will gather at the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson for the 2022 NZ Apples and Pears Conference.
The pipfruit forecast has been revised down to approximately 20.3 million boxes, representing an estimated reduction in export earnings of $105m, according to New Zealand Apples and Pears.
New Zealand’s 2022 apple and pear crop is predicted to reach 601,000 tonnes – inline with expectations – although Omicron, supply chain and labour shortage issues continue to plague the sector.
Alan Pollard has been appointed chief executive of Civil Contractors New Zealand, the national business association for New Zealand’s civil infrastructure construction industry.
New Zealand Apples and Pears Inc has appointed Terry Meikle its chief executive.
New Zealand Apples and Pears Incorporated has appointed John Allen as a director to its board.
Huge losses are forecast for the New Zealand apple and pear industry, according to New Zealand Apples and Pears Inc.
