Chilean fruit crops having a huge impact on prices in China.

NZ cherry growers have had a bad season.

Watch the Chilean apple crop carefully as 2017 was adversely impacted.

Prices being paid to suppliers higher over the past two years - but hope they covered currency at the start of the season.

Stock on a PE of 19.3X.

Gross dividend yield of 5.9%.

Too high a multiple and too low a dividend (as an agricultural stock exposure) for me, especially with no growth and Chilean competition becoming stronger.
