About

Apata Limited provides post-harvest services to New Zealand kiwifruit and avocado growers.

 

Orchardists grow the fruit, then Apata provides services from the point of harvest onwards.  That means we co-ordinate the harvest, then pack and coolstore the fruit until it is ready for distribution to the marketplace, either local or export.

Kiwifruit provide the core component of our business with over 8.7 million trays passing through our coolstores in 2010.  Our avocado volume varies between 0.6 and 1.3 million, depending on the season, and our 29% share of the national market is the largest volume managed by a single service provider.
