New Zealand ·
Seeka is a New Zealand fresh produce business that began in 1980 in Te Puke. It serves the fruit supply chain from orchard to market, combining orchard management with harvesting, packing, cold storage and commercial services. It works in New Zealand and in Australia, where Seeka Australia runs orchards and packing facilities in Victoria. Besides the orchards it manages, Seeka handles fruit for independent growers, and its SeekaFresh business supplies fresh produce to buyers.
For a kiwifruit or avocado grower, Seeka can take on the whole job or only part of it. Some growers hand over full orchard management, while others bring fruit in just for grading, packing and cool storage. Post-harvest work matters because kiwifruit is usually picked before it is ripe and can be held in cool storage for long periods, so careful grading, cooling and storage decide how much fruit reaches market in good condition. Settlement terms, quality standards and batch reporting shape each grower's arrangement.
Size of the business
Seeka's group revenue was NZD 439.6 million in 2025. Its New Zealand operations packed 47.1 million Class 1 kiwifruit trays that year, a figure that includes fruit from independent growers as well as orchards Seeka manages.
Does Seeka serve external growers?
Yes. Seeka's harvest and post-harvest services also pack and store fruit for independent growers.
Does 47.1 million trays mean own production?
No. It is the number of Class 1 kiwifruit trays packed in New Zealand in 2025, including fruit from independent growers.
