Orchards in Hawkes Bay have been devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Yummy Fruit Company General Manager Paul Paynter says about 30 percent of his orchards have been destroyed, and some are under more than a metre of silt.
Paynter says he expects regional revenue from fruit and wine to decrease by up to 50 percent this year.
He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that a wage subsidy and other Government support may be in order.
