	Description:		Hopes Hawke's Bay will be able to kick-start a successful almond industry in New Zealand. The region has been picked out for a feasibility study to see if almonds can be grown sustainably. It's being backed by central and local Government, as well as Picot Productions – the company behind Pic's Nut Spreads. Picot Productions Chief Executive Stuart Macintosh told Mike Hosking Hawke's Bay is a food bowl and has the best chance of establishing a commercial crop. He says the country's nut industry, in general, is large. “Nuts are really big cause they’re a healthy food. We’ve been told for years that a handful of nuts every day, if we all did it, we’d be much better off for it.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
