Being a backpacker in New Zealand means that there´s a huge probability of becoming a picker. Approx. 100,000 working-holidaymakers come to New Zealand every year. A lot of pickers!
Well, there are 2,516 kiwifruit growers in NZ and they produce about 140 million kiwi trays (a tray is approx. 3,6kg) for export (valued at 1,660 million dollars in 2016: the highest ever recorded value for exported kiwifruit).🍈
The video was shot in Te Puke during 2018 kiwi picking season. Usually, we picked around 3 tons per person per day. That´s a big number, isn´t it?
It was a hard job! Fun too, though!
