The ORCHARDIST : OCTOBER 2021
Gaining the New Zealand equivalent of the GLOBALG.A.P. Good Agricultural Practice certification – (NZGAP GLOBALG.A.P. Equivalent) – has not only assured Tauranga orchardist Teague Bishop of domestic and international market access for his passionfruit but helped to streamline his orchard and packhouse operations. “The NZGAP process provided a good platform for improving the management of the orchard and packhouse, including tracking the production from each area of the orchard,” Teague says.
