Picking flowers

TRANSCRIPT

Narrator

Male kiwifruit flowers are picked by hand. One picker can collect 30–40 kg of flowers a day, and up to 800 pickers work at the busiest time. PollenPlus™ gets about 80 tonnes of flowers from its orchards in the western Bay of Plenty. One picker fills up to four of these 10 kg bags a day.
