About this listen

A Kiwi start-up's labours are bearing fruit.

‘Forever Harvest’ has raised $1.2 million to grow fruit and nuts in a lab, all year round.

The project uses cellular agriculture, removing the need for orchards or soil and making production climate resistant.

Co-Founder Mick Riley told Mike Hosking they’re not looking to replace things like bulk cherries or bulk nectarines, but rather they’re creating a whole new kind of high value ingredient.

The products would be for commercial use, he says, as they’re not looking to compete in the consumer market.
