Only about half of kiwifruit growers expect to break even this year, amid a particularly bad harvest.
Production this year is down about 35 million trays on 2022, mostly due to storms.
Kiwifruit Growers CEO Colin Bond told Kate Hawkesby there are ways to mitigate the risk like frost protection and artificial shelters.
He says the quality of this year's harvest is higher than last year.
