Tomato growers have watched the weather forecasts more closely in the past week as Gisborne area has already met the February average for rainfall with half the month still to go.
Cedenco Foods managing director Tim Chrisp said the company had just entered the peak period of its sweetcorn, tomato and squash harvests. “The factory and team are at full capacity and we hope there are no serious disruptions weather-wise.”
Mr Chrisp said their tomato harvest was disrupted a bit at the weekend because of the rain. “We are currently waiting for some paddocks to drain properly so we can recommence the tomato harvest. […] We are watching the weather like everyone else, and hoping for a strong season.”
