Seeka

That sounds feasible and fixable. Hard job picking fruit - did a bit of that in South Australia in my 20s. You need a decent supply of motivated workers.

Yes mostly RSE’s and South American backpackers. Border restrictions obviously had a large impact on those sources.

Last Seeka Annual Report mention ‘Zespri’ >1,000 times so must be some connection


The Group, however, is impacted by the level of Zespri's market returns which impact on the Group's orchard profitability.

any northern hemisphere producer is producing seasonally inversely to NZ. South America would be a much bigger competitor / concern but luckily they seem to prefer sticking to avocados

Oh, you mean you thought that the additional overseas plantations would have sent their fruit to NZ so that Seeka can pack them? I think you misunderstood the proposal which the Zespri share holders turned down and you don't seem to understand the nature of their business ... but probably you didn't read the article anyway, did you?

Thousand is a big number. Are you sure? Given that a standard page contains 300 words, they must have filled 3.3 pages just with the word Zespri. That's impressive!

Anyway - still does not clarify how it impacts Seeka if Zespri shareholders decide not to grant overseas growers more licences for growing Kiwi fruit.

like they said in article they want to be a 12 mth yr business. so as you create new markets oversea's with plantings there and create awareness of the brand that opens more opportunities to send fruit from nz later on to fill gaps etc.
