New Zealand’s short but sweet persimmon season is now underway with the 2023 crop available in stores from May to July. Persimmons are grown commercially across the top half of the North Island, so most of the country’s growers have felt the full force of both cyclones Hale and Gabrielle this season.
This year, the NZ persimmon industry is on track to export around 1000 tons of fresh persimmons to consumers in Australia, South East Asia, Japan, Vietnam, United States and China.
