New Zealand lies in the heart of the South Pacific.

New Zealand is famous internationally for its diverse and beautiful landscape from vast mountain ranges, steaming volcanoes, hot thermal pools, sweeping golden coastlines and lush rainforests and native bush.

The country is comparable in size to Great Britain, Colorado or Japan but with a population of only 3.8 million - it is one of the world's least crowded countries.

This leaves plenty of fertile land for growing the world's best produce, and with mild temperatures, high rainfall, and lots of sunshine it's an ideal climate for apples and pears.

New Zealand's geographical isolation has afforded protection from many pests and diseases prevalent overseas.
