Where does your food come from? Kiwifruit

From First Up, 5:52 am on 24 July 2019

Have you ever wondered where your food comes from? This morning we're taking a look at kiwifruit.

Zespri Kiwifruit sold 167.2 million trays of New Zealand grown kiwifruit in the past year and the company is responsible for a third of all the kiwifruit sold in the world.

If you're just slicing one into your cereal and thinking about how it got there, First Up producer Ellie Jay and Videographer Tim Collins have the answer, as they went to the kiwifruit orchards in Te Puke to follow the fruit's journey from the vine to the store.
