In fact it's not just Tauranga--the kiwifruit is the most important crop of the whole Bay of Plenty area. Today New Zealand has more than 2700 kiwifruit orchards, with a total area of over 10,000 hectares. The fruit is exported to 60 countries around the world, and earns New Zealand well over US $ 300 million a year in foreign currency, making it the country's highest-earning horticultural export.
其實不只是陶藍加，整個「富饒灣」附近最主要的農作，就是奇異果；如今紐西蘭種植奇異果的果園共有兩千八百個，面積達到一萬多公頃，外銷全世界六十個國家，每年為紐西蘭賺進三億多美元的外匯，是所有蔬果產品中外銷的第一名。
