The November 2024 issue of Kiwiflier is available online here.
This month’s key updates include:
- A market update (p.1), as well as key highlights from some of our campaigns in Australia, Spain, USA and France as we close out the New Zealand season sales plans (pg. 7)
- A feature on the confirmation of the ZGS producer vote and how we will work towards 12-month supply (pg. 1 & 5)
- 2025 Licence Release and its key changes: SunGold proposed hectares to align with the 5-year plan and the removal of the KPIN requirement for the SunGold unrestricted applications if one is not finalised at the time of application. Information about the non-release of the Red19 license is also included as we continue to consolidate our findings on Red19 and future Reds in our breeding programme (pg.3)
- Jason’s CEO column where he talks about remaining focused on closing out the season as strongly as possible, our forecast five year OGRs and the 2024/25 Five Year Outlook document, our fundamentals as an organisation, and our ability to deliver strong value for the industry through 12-month supply (pg.2)
- Our Five-Year Outlook document is now published on Canopy and Zespri.com, sharing confidence in future demand for our kiwifruit despite an increasingly dynamic operating environment (pg.6)
- Share Alignment remains a key priority for us, and we will be exploring other options to provide additional means to lift grower shareholding in 2025. This November, we are hosting drop-in sessions to help you update your bank & GST details. We need all growers bank details even if you don't intend on opting in for the initiatives (pg.4)
