Oppenheimer kicks off New Zealand apricots

Vancouver-based The Oppenheimer Group began marketing apricots from New Zealand in the third week of January as shipments started arriving on both U.S. coasts.

Oppenheimer and New Zealand partner Delica Global are importing apricots grown primarily by the Jackson, Darlings and Remarkable orchards in New Zealand’s Central Otago region.

The fruit is available through March in 3-kilogram single-layer trays in various sizes, according to a news release. Oppenheimer is also taking customer requests for New Zealand cherries.

For the last 15 years, the deal has been a part of the marketer’s winter stone fruit program. Peaches, plums and nectarines from Chile are also part of that program. The New Zealand apricots will pick up the slack for a shortened Chilean apricot deal, according to Evan Myers, Oppenheimer’s stone fruit category director.
