About this listen
The impact of the Heinz Wattie's restructure won't be felt by growers straight away.
The company plans to shut three manufacturing facilitates in Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin, and packing operations in Hastings.
It's because of a planned move away from selling frozen vegetables, Gregg's Coffee, and several dips, which means 350 jobs are on the line.
Process Vegetables New Zealand Chair David Hadfield told Ryan Bridge the current year's contracts have been locked in.
He says harvests are either finished, halfway through, or about to start, so it will only effect growers next season.
