It's been a record breaking season for Seeka Kiwifruit Industries with the company processing 30.8 million trays in New Zealand during 2016, up 16.6 per cent on last year.

Seeka has now completed its kiwifruit packing operations and is heading into the storage and inventory management portion of the season in New Zealand, while completing its kiwifruit sales program in Australia.

It's the first time ever Seeka has handled more than 30 million trays in New Zealand, and this figure includes approximately 700,000 trays which will be removed from the inventory or at time of packing, through crop management.

All volumes have been handled within the company's infrastructure and Seeka is now moving to manage more than 16 million trays in store.

Australian kiwifruit volumes at 580,000 trays were behind expectation by approximately 109,000, but have still sold well in the market.

Nashi pears are continuing to be packed out and the selling program expected to be completed in October, while the Australian pear selling season is anticipated to also be completed in October.

The company is expected to report on its first six months earnings and provide commentary on trading on or around August 25.
