NZPGA – New Zealand Passionfruit Growers Association

NEW ZEALAND PASSIONFRUIT – Tropical, tangy, tasty mouthwatering, full of flavour, vitamins and health.

New Zealand Passionfruit Growers Association has been established for more than 20 years. In that time a range of growers have come and gone. Initially the center of passionfruit production was in the Eastern Bay of Plenty region of Opotiki.

Today the majority of orchards are found further west in the Katikati region. Passionfruit, however, can be grown as far north as Kaitaia—an area which has an ideal subtropical climate. It is also produced in small pockets as far south as Nelson where there are excellent climatic conditions for growing this delectable purple fruit.
