A single-site operation brings everything together in one place, creating greater consistency, efficiency, and control. With all fruit handled under one roof, processes are aligned, communication is faster, and quality standards are consistently met. It also means fewer delays and smoother logistics from intake through to packing and storage—ultimately delivering more reliable outcomes for growers and customers.
Trevelyan’s maintains strict compliance with both national and international specifications to ensure consistently high product quality. Our team plays a key role in safeguarding food safety by actively managing risks related to pests and plant health, and food defence. We also provide dedicated support to growers for programmes such as GAP, KiwiGreen, and AvoGreen, alongside Zespri and NZ Avocado, helping ensure all requirements are met with confidence and ease.
Kiwifruit and avocados.
We currently have 44 state-of-the-art coolstores, including 12 Controlled Atmosphere (CA) rooms that provide ample storage. Construction is well underway on our newest coolstore – this will also be our first ammonia-glycol coolstore, which uses ammonia as a refrigerant. Ammonia is a naturally occurring compound that is non-ozone-depleting and has zero-global-warming-potential, allowing us to cool our fruit effectively while reducing our potential environmental impact should there ever be a leak.
Trevelyan’s provides comprehensive orchard support through our Trevelyan’s Managed Orchards team, recognising that every orchard is unique. We tailor our orchard plans to suit the specific needs of each grower—whether a large corporate operation or a privately owned orchard—ensuring the right level of support, expertise, and care to maximise performance and long-term success. Additionally, new to our suite of offerings is block conversion, for more information contact Dan, in the Meet Our People section.
