Te Puke Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Te Puke is a town in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
A service town with an urban population of approximately 6,700, "Te Puke" should be pronounced "teh-pook-eh," which means "The Hill" in Maori.
Te Puke's warm climate and fertile volcanic soils make it a very horticultural district, allowing it to grow a wide variety of citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges, in addition to kiwifruit. The town markets itself as the "Kiwifruit capital of the world," and is the center of an industry which supplies a large percentage of the total world production of the fruit. Livestock are also farmed, notably dairy cattle. The surround area contains many fruit orchards and avocado orchards, and supporting these forms the backbone of the region's economy. Many locals also commute to nearby Tauranga and Mount Manganui.
