Seeka Orchardists
Servicing the major kiwifruit and avocado growing regions spanning from the Coromandel through to Edgecumbe, Seeka offers a full orchard support service, with an uncompromised commitment to optimise orchard returns season after season.
Help starts on the orchard, with an industry-leading technical transfer team under the guidance of research manager Murray Judd. Murray and his team offer expert advice to drive orchard production, including orchard configuration, fertiliser programmes, and financial tools such as the Kiwistart calculator which allows kiwifruit orchardists to make informed decisions on timing their harvest to optimise their individual financial returns.
With packhouses located in Whitianga, Katikati, Tauranga and Te Puke, Seeka offers unrivalled packing capacity which can be immediately brought into production to ensure orchardists have unrestricted access to valuable early harvest premiums. And Seeka’s industry-leading inventory management system segregates, coolstores and ships product to optimise orchard earnings throughout the selling season.
24-hour packout reports, detailed financial reporting, and seasonal benchmarking reports, provides orchardists with fully-transparent reporting, with online, real-time access to packhouse, coolstore and financial data.
Kiwifruit orchardists supply Seeka through a post harvest service contract, whereby the orchardist manages their own orchard, or a Seeka management or lease contract whereby Seeka’s orchard division operates the orchard.
Avocado orchardists manage their own orchards and supply Seeka through the company’s AvoFresh operational division.
