Efforts to boost its volume will be aided by first time plantings in Italy to support the 12-month supply strategy and is covered by Zespri’s existing approval to plant up to 1000 hectares of new variety offshore, approved by growers in 2019.
Bond said the labour issues that blighted the sector two years ago are now well in the rear-view mirror.
首次在意大利種植將有助于提高產(chǎn)量，以支持12個月的供應(yīng)戰(zhàn)略，Zespri目前已批準在2019年批準在海外種植多達1000公頃的新品種。
邦德表示，兩年前困擾該行業(yè)的勞工問題現(xiàn)在已成為過去。

“One of the big drivers for our labour problems back in 2022 was that a quarter of our seasonal workforce were backpackers. Coming at the end of covid, we did not have those people in the country.
“Now we have more RSE workers coming in, and more New Zealanders.
“2022年我們勞動力問題的主要驅(qū)動因素之一是，我們四分之一的季節(jié)性勞動力是背包客。新冠肺炎疫情結(jié)束時，我們國內(nèi)沒有這些人。

“On the demand side, with more automation in packhouses there is less need for people in the post-harvest sector and roles we do need are higher skilled. Every time you don’t need someone in post-harvest you are still putting more hectares in the ground.”
The harvest season will continue through to June.
“在需求方面，隨著包裝廠自動化程度的提高，對收獲后行業(yè)人員的需求減少，我們確實需要更高技能的職位。每次你不需要收獲后的人，你仍然會在地上種植更多的土地?！?br /> 收獲季節(jié)將持續(xù)到六月。
