Ōpōtiki’s Primary Industries

OPAC
OPAC in Ōpōtiki is dedicated to growing three things – great fruit, great people, and great
communities.
This can be seen clearly in OPAC’s operations and value proposition, but also in how
they operate from day to day.
The New Zealand Kiwifruit is an ever-evolving industry and is trend setting in OPOTIKI PRIMARY INDUSTRIES
producing healthy food.
At OPAC we firmly believe that a company only has the right to exist, and will only
succeed, with the full support of all of its people, its owners and the community it operates
within, and we should never lose sight of that.
Without people and our community, we don’t exist. The fruit is just an outcome of our
peoples hard work and the support of our community as custodians of the resources we
apply to produce this exotic fruit OPAC holds every piece of fruit to the highest standard
with fruit quality is our main focus.
Despite this statement seeming straightforward, that quality spans across the product,
service, conditions for staff and many other areas of OPAC’s vast network.
Since its conception over three decades ago, OPAC has acted as a key player in
Ōpōtiki’s economy, fighting unemployment and attracting tourism through seasonal
work and provide a unique cultural of the Eastern Bay of Plenty to our visitors. OPAC as
an organization has strong relationships within the community, including a loyal base of
growers who have stuck around and grown alongside them.
