The annual apple and pear crop is forecast to pip last year's total. New Zealand Apples & Pears estimates export volume at 21.2 million boxes, a rebound from the 2023 Cyclone Gabrielle-ravaged total.

She says it's also down to a lot of hard work from growers, coupled with favourable weather. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
