The good news is that most employers understand that many of their workers are newcomers, who lack of experience within the Kiwifruit industry.<\/p><p>For that reason, at Garcia, we ensure all new personnel who joins us receive top-notch training, to get them up and running to perform all necessary task at the orchard an make sure the work is performed in a technical and timely manner.<\/p><p>The kiwifruit seasons can be split into three basic seasons, <b>winter<\/b> is when the plant is on a dormant stage. <b>Summer <\/b>is when the leaves start to appear, flower buds start to pop-out and the actual kiwifruit starts to grow. <b>Kiwifruit picking <\/b>happens when the fruits are still not yet ripe, so they can be harvested and dispatched to export, arriving ripe at the destination country.<\/p><p>At all kiwifruit seasons, the industry requires many field workers.
