About this listen

A shift in climate has opened the door to grow more coffee in the Far North.

Industry specialists have gathered near Kaikohe for the annual Coffee Producers Association conference.

New Zealand currently has about a dozen growers and more than seven thousand trees, with goals to scale-up production.

Association Chair Peter Sheppard told Mike Hosking we're in a zone where the climate has become warm enough to make the industry viable.

He says there’s huge potential in New Zealand, and they’re at the beginning of a really exciting journey.
