Who Is Zeafruit

Zeafruit was established in 2000 and is part of Darling Group — a New Zealand-owned family of horticulture businesses specialising in avocados and citrus.

We operate from two key locations:

• • Katikati – Avocado operations and administration office
  • Gisborne – Citrus procurement, packing, and logistics

Our team is small but highly capable, and we foster a culture where everyone is encouraged to actively contribute to the company’s success. We believe that a team who are well-paid, well-motivated, and aligned in purpose delivers exceptional service to our growers, supply partners, and customers.
