Cedenco Foods has started its tomato harvest as the sweetcorn harvest continues. General manager Carla McCulloch said the tomato crop looked good.
“We started processing yesterday [Feb. 11, 2021]. Tomato yields are looking above budget at this point of the season, and the quality is good, with high raw material brix,” she said.
“The tomato plants are enjoying the drier weather and we're enjoying good harvesting conditions.”

Cedenco has targeted a volume of around 15,000 metric tonnes of tomatoes this season.
