An Auckland company is getting $3.7 million of government funding to get sorted.
Research, Science and Technology Minister Wayne Mapp said Auckland-based Compac Sorting Equipment would match the funding to develop a high-speed sorting and grading machine for delicate and irregularly-shaped fruit and vegetables.
The funding comes out of TechNZ, the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology's business assistance programme.
"The government is committed to supporting export-focused New Zealand firms that will drive economic growth. Their work will lift our international reputation for innovation," Dr Mapp said.
Compac manufactures fruit and vegetable packing technology, machinery, software and electronic products used in more than 30 countries.
