Bruce Cameron -a longtime kiwi grower, chairman of Zespri, and a cooperative of the nation's growers- said he couldn't hide his excitement as he knows that an international freighter loaded with a portion of New Zealand's latest season of kiwifruit arrived in early April at Taizhou Port in Zhejiang province.
"Our 2,000 containers loaded on 20 vessels will be shipped to China one after another. In the next five years, we plan to double our sales in China to satisfy the appetite of more Chinese consumers," Cameron said.
Over the past 20 years, Cameron has fostered good relations with his Chinese business partners. China accounts for a 25 percent share of Zespri's kiwi exports. Cameron has promised to pay close attention to health regulations and strictly abide by the requirements of quarantine inspection and risk controls, especially during the pandemic.
