Zespri’s final charter shipment of the 2025 New Zealand kiwifruit season has departed the Port of Tauranga bound for Japan.
The ship Whero is carrying more than 1.4 million trays, or more than 5000 tonnes, of Zespri Green kiwifruit and is expected to arrive in Tokyo mid-November, before sailing on to Kobe.
This will be Zespri’s 60th charter vessel of the season, used to ship New Zealand-grown Zespri Green, SunGold and RubyRed kiwifruit to more than 50 markets. Its final container shipments of kiwifruit will also depart New Zealand in the coming weeks. This season, Zespri has had a significant increase in container usage, with 24,000 containers, up from 20,500 in 2024.
Zespri 2025年新西蘭獼猴桃季的最后一批包機(jī)已從陶朗加港出發(fā)，前往日本。
Whero號載有140多萬托盤，即5000多噸Zespri Green獼猴桃，預(yù)計(jì)將于11月中旬抵達(dá)東京，然后駛向神戶。
這將是Zespri本季的第60艘包機(jī)，用于將新西蘭種植的Zespri Green、SunGold和RubyRed獼猴桃運(yùn)往50多個市場。其最后一批獼猴桃集裝箱也將在未來幾周內(nèi)離開新西蘭。本季，Zespri的集裝箱使用量大幅增加，從2024年的20500個集裝箱增加到24000個集裝箱。

CEO Jason Te Brake said this year’s crop of around 215 million trays, or more than 770,000 tonnes, has been the largest yet, and it’s been a huge industry-wide effort to deliver record volumes to customers and consumers around the world.
“Our markets have been performing well, with record sales weeks in Europe, strong sales in the US and also in China throughout September thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
首席執(zhí)行官Jason Te Brake表示，今年的托盤產(chǎn)量約為2.15億個，即超過77萬噸，是迄今為止最大的一次，這是全行業(yè)為向全球客戶和消費(fèi)者提供創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄數(shù)量所做的巨大努力。
“我們的市場表現(xiàn)良好，由于中秋節(jié)，歐洲的銷售周數(shù)創(chuàng)下歷史新高，美國和中國整個9月的銷售表現(xiàn)強(qiáng)勁。

“Even with a significant increase in volume, from more than 195 million trays last season to 215 million this year, our markets have sold through extremely well. This sets us up for a smooth transition to our Northern Hemisphere-grown fruit which plays a critical role in ensuring we have year-round supply.”
As Zespri looks to close out the season with the final charter on its way to Japan, the focus is shifting to planning for 2026 which involves Zespri, post-harvest and NZKGI, Te Brake said.
“即使產(chǎn)量大幅增加，從上個季度的1.95億托盤增加到今年的2.15億托盤，我們的市場銷售情況也非常好。這使我們能夠順利過渡到北半球種植的水果，這對確保我們?nèi)旯?yīng)至關(guān)重要?！?br /> Te Brake表示，隨著Zespri希望在前往日本的最后一份包機(jī)上結(jié)束這個季節(jié)，重點(diǎn)將轉(zhuǎn)移到2026年的規(guī)劃上，其中包括Zespri、收獲后和NZKGI。
