The 2022 season has the potential to be another record-breaking year with more kiwifruit produced than ever before. A forecast of at least 190 million trays will need to be harvested, overtaking last year’s record of over 177 million trays. On average, each tray has around 30 pieces of kiwifruit.

Zespri’s Chief Grower, Industry and Sustainability Officer, Carol Ward says, “With this season’s harvest about to commence, growers and the wider industry will again be following all government protocols and working hard to safely pick, pack and ship what’s expected to be another bumper crop of at least 190 million trays, maybe more.

The success of the 2022 kiwifruit harvest hinges on the ability for industry’s supply chain to operate effectively under the quickly changing COVID-19 settings. The industry requires 24,000 people to pick and pack the crop. However, forecast surges in COVID-19 infection rates are expected to restrict the availability of New Zealanders. In addition, the opening of New Zealand’s borders is expected to be too late to replace the 6,500 backpackers required for harvest.

2022年獼猴桃收獲的成功取決于行業(yè)供應(yīng)鏈在快速變化的新冠肺炎環(huán)境下有效運(yùn)作的能力。該行業(yè)需要24000人來(lái)采摘和包裝作物。然而，預(yù)計(jì)新冠肺炎感染率的激增將限制新西蘭人的可用性。此外，新西蘭邊境的開放預(yù)計(jì)為時(shí)已晚，無(wú)法取代收獲所需的6500名背包客。

CEO of New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Inc.

“I strongly encourage everyone to roll up their sleeves and join the team to harvest this iconic piece of Kiwiana”, says Colin. “Picking is a great opportunity for those who like to be in the outdoors, while the packhouse is suited to those who like to have fun in larger teams indoors”.

科林說(shuō)：“我強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì)大家卷起袖子，加入團(tuán)隊(duì)，收獲這片標(biāo)志性的奇異果?！??！皩?duì)于那些喜歡戶外活動(dòng)的人來(lái)說(shuō)，采摘是一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)，而馱馬場(chǎng)則適合那些喜歡在室內(nèi)的大型團(tuán)隊(duì)中享受樂趣的人?！?。

Almost all packhouses have told NZKGI that they will be paying at least the living wage of $22.75 per hour. Kiwifruit picking is also expected to exceed the living wage with an average of $27 per hour paid last year when the minimum wage was $20 per hour. Information on job opportunities can be found on the NZKGI website or on the Facebook page KiwifruitJobsNZ.

幾乎所有的馱馬人都告訴NZKGI，他們將至少支付每小時(shí)22.75美元的生活工資。獼猴桃采摘預(yù)計(jì)也將超過(guò)生活工資，去年的最低工資為每小時(shí)20美元，平均每小時(shí)工資為27美元。有關(guān)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的信息可以在NZKGI網(wǎng)站或Facebook頁(yè)面KiwifruitJobsNZ上找到。
