Our Services
'Independent Horticulture Specialists'
Insurance & Liablity
Our team of industry experts perform independent loss assessment
for a range of customers including multinational insurance companies, underwriters, legal firms, loss adjusters, private growers and
management companies.
​
This encompasses assessing losses under crop insurance policies for the apple, forestry and kiwifruit industries. We also undertake work under professional indemnity and public liability policies which involve both causation and quantification aspects.
Research Support
Our team supports New Zealand's leading horticultural research institutions with 'on the ground' practical solutions. Our aim is to broaden the scope of what can be achieved by lab based and commercial scale trials. We collaborate with our extensive network within the kiwifruit industry to perform the following; review and/or development of trial plans, secure trial sites, gather resources, implement trial work, organise logistics, compensation calculations and analysis & reporting.
​
We have developed a strong network of preferred suppliers to ensure no compromise in product quality for fruit that has travelled to its research institute destination, and that a commercial situation is simulated as closely as practical.
​
​
Compliance
Our qualified inspectors are available for GAP/GRASP inspections for the kiwifruit industry. We have the skills and expertise to perform investigations into complaints submitted by the public, with a focus on assessing practices and processes as compared to best practice.
​
Orchard Assesment
We can provide comprehensive and detailed property reporting with a focus on describing orchard physical characteristics and infrastructure, prediction of cropping potential, financial analysis and general industry information. We also perform crop estimates, bespoke 'what if' quantifications, general benchmarking and analysis.
