Avocados now the light of couple’s lives

A light has been switched on in the lives of Te Puna avocado orchardists Dion Braden and Tracey Lougheed. Not only are they now enjoying a “lighter” life in the Bay of Plenty, but they are using the power of the sun to improve production at the 5.5ha orchard they purchased almost a year ago.

Facts:

Orchard canopy area: 3.5ha
Production:               18 tonnes/ha
Export pack out:        87
Average fruit size:     23cm
