    Export to Australia
     
    Australia is New Zealand's largest export market for avocados and a major export destination for New Zealand Seeka's avocado.
    Seeka mainly grows kiwi and avocado, as well as pears, apricots, cherries, plums and other fruits, with an annual output of 750,000-1 million boxe.
     
    Seeka CEO Michael Franks said the New Zealand avocado season started about three weeks ago and exports have just starte.
    The new season of avocados has already been flown to Thailand, with shipments to China starting this week, as well as exports to South Korea and Japa.
    Franks explained that the move into the Asian market is to cushion the increase in Australian avocado productio.
    China
     
    According to reports, after 4-5 consecutive years of bumper harvests, New Zealand's butter production will drop by about 20% this season, but the fruit quality is excellen.
    Seeka wants to reduce its reliance on the Australian market and allow more flexibility in exporting avocados through the Asian marke.
     
    Franks also introduced the planting progress of the new variety GEM avocad.
    Developed at the University of California, this variety has smaller plants and late-ripening frui.
     
    The average size of GEM avocados is slightly larger than HASS, the skin is smoother, and the taste is almost the sam.
    The harvest season is 1-2 months later than HASS, and it will not fall off the branches immediately after maturity, so it can continue to accumulate nutrients on the tre.
     
    Seeka has planted 40,000 Gem avocados and expects to produce 2,500 cases of Gem avocados this year, increasing to 40,000 cases next yea.
    If all goes well, Seeka-grown Gem avocados will be available in large quantities in 2024.
