Whanganui’s one-stop kiwifruit shop

“My goal has always been to have a totally self-integrated kiwifruit business,” explains Noel Cooper, Wanganui’s largest grower and owner of Cooper Coolpac Ltd. The Cooper’s family-owned business is run by Noel and Sue Cooper and their son Andrew and includes 48 hectares of orchard, as well as a packhouse and coolstores which pack and store all their own fruit.
