Increased rebate for DMS’ growers
Bay of Plenty Kiwifruit management company, DMS, has announced it has increased its shareholder rebate for the 2015/2016
year by 10 cents to 30 cents for Grower shareholders, an increase that is attributed to increased profitability of the
business.
DMS is a Bay of Plenty owned and operated orchard management and post-harvest operator, with two major packhouse sites
in Te Puke and Te Puna.
DMS Director, Craig Greenlees, says the rebate increase demonstrates the recent growth enjoyed by DMS, plus implementing
strategies that focuses on fruit quality from orchard management to packing.
“We pride ourselves on treating a Grower’s crop like Gold, regardless of the variety, and this increased shareholder
rebate is proof of that,” he says.
“By putting in place good orchard management processes, picking the fruit at the best time and then treating the
Kiwifruit with care in our packhouses, DMS can hand on heart say we mean what we say, and we deliver on that. Our mantra
is “Increasing Grower Profit”.
“Growers have confidence in DMS. They have given us a clear message in the past over how they want to be treated and
their expectations over what should be delivered. This is evidence that we have listened.
“Our company vision is to enrich the lives of our Growers and our team, through exceptional management and performance,
and living up to our brand promise of increasing grower profit. I’m pleased that we have ticked that box.”
