NEW ZEALAND AVOCADO COLLECTIVE GENERAL MANAGER JARROD REDWOOD

Please meet our fun-loving avopreneur and brainchild of the New Zealand Avocado Collective, Mr Jarrod Redwood.

Jarrod’s been part of the avocado industry for the better part of 15 years. His happy place is being with people, building solid honest customer relationships locally and internationally, and developing strong industry connections. Only too happy to pick up the phone, we can promise an excellent conversationalist, with no awkward silences.

Many years ago, Jarrod identified an opportunity to step change and streamline avocados as a business in New Zealand, and we’re excited to announce the launch of the New Zealand Avocado Collective, affectionately known as the NZAC.
