Brydon Nisbet: Hawke’s Bay Fruitgrowers Association President on the early harvest

Hawke's Bay apple growers are reaping the rewards of their recovery after Cyclone Gabrielle.   The region grows two-thirds of the country's apples but was badly affected by the cyclone in 2023.  They say a warm and dry spring has led to one of the earliest picking seasons in decades.   Hawke’s Bay Fruitgrowers Association President Brydon Nisbet told Mike Hosking that everything is set for a fantastic harvest.  He says there’s a huge volume of fruit of good quality, size, and colour.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
