Rockit apples, the company known for growing smaller apples, will be expanding their outreach into the South Island.

The company is looking for farmland and growers in the Canterbury and Nelson regions, and plans on filling 200 hectares of land with trees to increase their product output.

Rockit is expecting to ship at least 76 million apples this year, climbing up to 160 million by the end of next year. 

Commercial General Manager for Rockit apples, Tom Lane, talked us through this brand expansion.
