Kiwifruit Suppliers say “NO THANKS MR GIBBS”
Kiwifruit deregulation is not on the agenda say leading kiwifruit suppliers including Apata, DMS, Eastpack, Gisborne Kiwifruit Trust, Mainland, Te Awanui Huka Pak, OPAC, Orrangewood, Mount Pack & Cool, Satara, Seeka, & Trevelyns.
Kiwifruit Suppliers representing over 90 percent of kiwifruit supplied to ZESPRI have today confirmed that they support the Single Point of Entry structure in response to statements from Turners & Growers to media over the weekend
Eastpack CEO, Tony Hawken, said suppliers were not interested in returning to the multi-exporter model of 20 years ago. “The industry is in a much better shape now. Deregulation is simply not on the agenda and we wouldn’t entertain the thought of destroying the value of New Zealand’s leading horticultural export.”
