With the bulk of its orchard management and post-harvest operations involving Kiwifruit, DMS is also active in the avocado industry.

A strong association with NZAML (New Zealand Avocado Marketing Limited) in 2009 has seen a significant increase of avocados packed through DMS with greater volumes anticipated.

From orchard advice, through to packing for export and local market we have all the bases covered. Our proven orchard management techniques are bringing outstanding results for our managed and leased properties, as well as our clients. This flows into achieving consistently low picking costs.

The Te Puna site where we pack avocados has a modern grader, which incorporates soft fruit handling technology, as well as new cool stores to take care of your fruit.

A water blaster is used, to comply with USA market requirements. This assists in achieving export packouts above industry norms for all markets.
