Industry Knowledge
Woven into New Zealand’s horticultural industry for over 100 years, Fruitfed Supplies is focused on supporting the success and sustainability of the industry. Over the years, we have quickly adapted or even anticipated changing customer requirements. We also take pride in fostering talent, sponsoring several events that reward achievement in the industry and encourage horticulture as a career path.
Accreditations & Industry Involvement
The Fruitfed Supplies team is engaged with the horticultural industry on many levels, and we therefore understand the regulatory requirements and market demands being faced by growers and winemakers. A number of our staff are part of or work closely with industry organisations such as Onions NZ or New Zealand Avocado; and with large corporate growers and vineyards operating in large export markets. Fruitfed Supplies Blenheim has also secured the Brand Reputation through Compliance of Global Standards (BRCGS) programme providing winemakers with an assurance the products we sell are traceable through the supply chain.
