In general, the quality of the first sungold kiwifruit delivered to the market this season has been woeful. Although it is yet to be signed off, the kiwifruit industry is heading into another quality review. In my time in the industry, there have been many reviews, and the first review I was involved in was in 2006. The average onshore fruit loss that year was 11.6% HW, 3.5% HWOB, and 10.6 % for GKCK. I clearly remember that year. We fought hard at packing time to keep the soft fruit out of the HW trays as we packed. The physical damage was a challenge for Hort 16a. There were times that we were packing the Hort 16a at only 900 trays an hour as we turned each piece of fruit looking for damage. We then audited those lines as we sent them off to Zespri’s newly formed ECPI team at the wharf. It was a hard year, our fruit loss that year was 2.3% HW and 1% Hort 16a.

總的來說，這個季節(jié)上市的第一批陽光金果獼猴桃的質量很差。雖然尚未簽署，但獼猴桃產業(yè)正進入另一個質量審查階段。在我從事該行業(yè)的時候，有很多評論，我參與的第一次評論是在2006年。那一年，平均陸地水果損失為11.6%HW、3.5%HWOB和10.6%GKCK。我清楚地記得那一年。在打包時，我們竭盡全力，不讓軟水果進入硬件托盤。物理損傷對霍特16a來說是一個挑戰(zhàn)。有時，我們每小時只能用900個托盤包裝霍特16a，因為我們翻著每片水果尋找損壞。然后，當我們將這些線路發(fā)送給Zespri新組建的碼頭ECPI團隊時，我們對這些線路進行了審核。這是一個艱難的一年，我們那一年的水果損失是2.3%HW和1%Hort 16a。

I support the need for a review this year, but I ask myself, why are we having to do this again, did we miss something last time? Having now accomplished a full head of grey hair and having had my fair share of beatings over the years, I would sum the issue up with one line. “Every problem needs a home”. What I mean by this, is that if you leave a problem unattended it does not go away, it runs up the road chasing you. Then at some stage, it bites you hard on the backside- we shouldn’t need a disaster to sort problems out.

我支持今年進行審查的必要性，但我問自己，為什么我們還要這樣做，上次我們有沒有遺漏什么？現在，我已經有了一頭滿頭的白發(fā)，多年來也遭受過不少毆打，我可以用一句話來總結這個問題?！懊總€問題都需要一個家”。我的意思是，如果你把一個問題放在一邊，它不會消失，它會沿著道路追你。然后在某個階段，它會在背后狠狠地咬你一口——我們不應該需要災難來解決問題。

With the upcoming review, every part of the supply chain is involved, including growers, contractors, postharvest, and Zespri. Rather than waiting until the issues become untenable, we need to acknowledge and sort out our problems as they arise, the net result of this will be a happier customer.

隨著即將到來的審查，供應鏈的每一部分都將涉及，包括種植者、承包商、收獲后和Zespri。我們需要在問題出現時承認并解決問題，而不是等到問題無法解決，這樣做的最終結果將是讓客戶更快樂。
