New Zealand producers feature heavily in the coming edition of Australian & New Zealand Olivegrower & Processor, hitting letterboxes in early September. NZ co-operatives are firmly in focus, with a great article on hows, whys (and sometimes why-nots) of the group business model based on the experiences of the Matakana and Koru Olives co-ops. The 2015 Harvest Report gives a run-down of the season across the country, and the September Olivegrower Profile is Waiheke Island producer Kerry Hart of Azzuro Groves.
