Taranaki is looking into the possibility of growing more avocados in a bid to diversify its economy and make it more resilient.
It's part of the Branching Out initiative, which will investigate the feasibility of up to a dozen new ventures exploring new economic opportunities for the region.
Justine Gilliland, chief executive of regional development agency Venture Taranaki, says although some avocados are already grown in the region the number is small compared to places like Bay of Plenty or Northland.
Gilliland said an event held next month will bring together landowners, potential growers, financial decision-makers and agricultural advisers to collaborate and learn about possible opportunities.
