DMS believes NZ’s Hayward crop volume is sitting at about the right level to meet Zespri’s ongoing market demand. With that in mind and with our track record of producing better orchard outcomes, we’re confident in our ability to deliver more, for less. We’re also comfortable that it’s financially viable for the business to support that cost structure for years to come. Simply put, we’re backing ourselves for the long haul
Our lease and management clients rely on a timely flow of good quality information to keep them up to date with progress – often in real time. Outside the digital and print reporting you’ll always have access to real human with real expertise to keep you in the picture about what’s happening on your orchard or with your crop, and to answer any queries or concerns.
Good production numbers and good quality fruit are something we back ourselves to deliver. DMS’s Orchard Management teams are widely recognised as being amongst the best in the business. Before you commit to any lease or management option, we invite you to review our year-on-year performance and make your own judgement. We’d also invite you to meet with our current clients.
All the Growers, whose orchards we manage, have the right to own a stake in their Post-harvest company. Each season, DMS Shareholders receive a share of the company’s profits in the form of a rebate for each of the Class 1 trays packed from their orchard. Part of that rebate is used to purchase shares and part of it is paid to the grower, in cash. In addition to the rebate our growers also receive a further share of the profits by way of a dividend from their paid-up shareholding.
