Avocado Partnerships
Creating Connections
Building strong relationships has been key in Trevelyan’s success. We work hard to develop trusted connections and partner with others to achieve greater progress and create enduring, mutually beneficial solutions.
BayFarms
Since 1995, BayFarms has been a key player in the marketing and distribution of Class 2 and 3 avocados from growers that supply Trevelyan’s to the New Zealand domestic market.
BayFarms is a 50/50 partnership between Trevelyan Pack and Cool Ltd (TPCL) and Trevelyan’s Avocado Growers Ltd (TAGL), benefiting Trevelyan's avocado growers by providing:
- An equitable split of business profit.
- An equal say in business direction and decisions.
- Stronger collaboration between growers and Trevelyan’s.
Trevelyan Avocado Growers Ltd
Trevelyan Avocado Growers Ltd (TAGL) was established in 2022 with a mission to provide a voice for growers who supply their fruit to Trevelyan’s.
The TAGL Board, comprising nine nominated grower directors (elected for a three-year term) and three appointed Trevelyan’s Pack and Cool Limited directors, is an innovative partnership between packhouse and growers and is a testament to Trevelyan’s commitment to listening to, and working with, our avocado growers.
AVOCO
AVOCO™ is a partnership between avocado exporters Southern Produce Ltd and Primor Produce Ltd.
As a specialist avocado marketer and exporter, it ships mainly to the Australian and Asian markets.
The formation of AVOCO™ as a larger-scale avocado exporter is designed to ensure long-term sustainable returns, with a strong focus on new market development, benefiting from economies of scale with shipping, insurance, packaging, and transport.
Darling Group
Darling Group, a family business based in Katikati, was the first New Zealand avocado supply group to export its fruit to Canada.
Their commitment to driving the continuous development of a profitable and sustainable New Zealand avocado business for growers is backed by their extensive experience in international markets.
As an exporter of other product categories, they consistently interface with international markets, allowing them to quickly identify the best start and end period for Darling Groups’ supply.
