kvh Leanne Stewart Chief Executive 2024 POLICIES AND REPORTS Annual Updates
新西兰KVH总经理2024年度报告内容
Looking back over the past year, KVH has achieved many things, not least a successful inaugural Biosecurity Symposium.
Held in August 2023, the aim of creating the event was to showcase how far we’ve come (as an organisation and industry) in our biosecurity practices, reparedness, and adaptability to changes in risk. We also wanted to create an environment of shared biosecurity experience and knowledge, so that we all continue to raise the biosecurity bar and ensure our ontinued resilience to pest and disease threats.
回顾过去的一年,KVH取得了许多成就,尤其是成功举办了首届生物安全研讨会。
该活动于2023年8月举行,旨在展示我们(作为一个组织和行业)在生物安全实践、应对能力和对风险变化的适应性方面取得了多大的进步。我们还希望创造一个共享生物安全经验和知识的环境,以便我们所有人都能继续提高生物安全标准,确保我们对病虫害威胁的持续抵御能力。

As the Board Chair notes, the Symposium included a response simulation (read more on page 10). The practicalities of a response - real or as part of a training exercise - is something I want to highlight, because this is the level of readiness that we need to successfully meet our response goals if we are ever faced with a major incursion.
正如董事会主席所指出的那样,研讨会包括一个响应模拟(详见第10页)。我想强调的是,应对措施的实用性——无论是真实的还是作为训练活动的一部分——因为这是我们在面临重大入侵时成功实现应对目标所需的准备程度。

We have had a big focus at KVH, and through our KiwiNet network of champions, on building capability and ensuring the kiwifruit industry is ready to respond if needs be. This means getting down to such practical elements as training, practicing, writing plans, creating templates, arranging logistics, having the right tools and software. All things that enable us to effectively initiate support activities for growers and get it right, from the start.

KVH非常重视能力建设,并通过我们的KiwiNet冠军网络,确保猕猴桃行业在需要时做好应对准备。这意味着要认真对待培训、练习、制定计划、创建模板、安排物流、拥有合适的工具和软件等实际要素。所有这些都使我们能够从一开始就有效地为种植者发起支持活动并使其正确。
The same model for biosecurity readiness and response is what KVH will use if we are facing a significant adverse event that severely impacts vine health, under our expanded mandate of managing the industry’s Emergency Response Management framework. You can read about this in detail on page 13, including work that has been underway to prepare for events and response training across the wider industry.
如果我们面临严重影响葡萄藤健康的重大不良事件,根据我们扩大的管理行业应急响应管理框架的任务,KVH将使用相同的生物安全准备和响应模型。您可以在第13页详细了解这一点,包括为更广泛行业的事件和响应培训做准备的工作。

KVH’s new role in this space is backed by industry and facilitates a more co-ordinated and cohesive approach to supporting growers in times of need.
KVH在这一领域的新角色得到了行业的支持,并有助于在需要时采取更协调一致的方法来支持种植者。

As you’ll see throughout this year’s Annual Update it isn’t only at such times that we are directly undertaking engagement with growers. It’s all the time, and it’s fundamental to what we do. Feeding back information directly to growers at events and workshops has proven yet again over the last year to be a popular and preferred method for us to interact and share everything from details about the work we’re currently doing and what’s coming up; to orchard visits and demonstrations of unusual symptoms, sampling, and monitoring; to
distributing brand new KVH-produced education resources; to latest research findings and how this might help on-orchard practices, as we did alongside Plant & Food Research in northland (page 23).
正如您在今年的年度更新中看到的那样,我们不仅在这种时候直接与种植者接触。这是一直以来的事情,也是我们工作的基础。在过去的一年里,在活动和研讨会上直接向种植者反馈信息再次被证明是我们互动和分享一切的流行和首选方法,从我们目前正在做的工作的细节到即将发生的事情;果园参观和异常症状演示、采样和监测;分发全新的KVH生产的教育资源;最新的研究成果以及这对果园实践的帮助,正如我们与北国植物与食品研究所共同做的那样(第23页)。

Collaboration with such research partners, and others, is something covered a lot in this year’s update. The Government Industry Agreement for Biosecurity Readiness and Response (GIA), mentioned by the Board Chair, continues to be key to our preparedness efforts.
与这些研究伙伴和其他人的合作是今年更新中涉及的很多内容。董事会主席提到的《政府-行业生物安全准备和应对协议》(GIA)仍然是我们准备工作的关键。

The partnership celebrated it’s 10-year anniversary in May 2024, providing us a fitting opportunity to reflect. KVH was the first industry partner to sign up to the GIA Deed, signalling our intent to work constructively with others for the benefit of our growers – and we have proven that intent (and beyond) with a successful decade of advocating for our growers and industry and having direct influence on decisions that are made in relation to prevention and management of pests and diseases that can have a devastating effect on our orchards.
2024年5月,该伙伴关系庆祝了10周年,为我们提供了一个反思的合适机会。KVH是第一个签署GIA契约的行业合作伙伴,这表明我们有意与他人建设性地合作,造福我们的种植者——我们已经证明了这一意图(及以后),十年来我们成功地倡导了我们的种植者和行业,并对预防和管理可能对我们的果园产生毁灭性影响的病虫害的决策产生了直接影响。

I was in Australia in May at the Plant Health Australia annual meetings with other New Zealand government and industry representatives to learn how the Australians work together under their collaborative partnership to prepare for and respond to biosecurity threats.
今年5月,我在澳大利亚与其他新西兰政府和行业代表一起参加了澳大利亚植物健康年会,了解澳大利亚人如何在合作伙伴关系下共同努力,为应对生物安全威胁做好准备。
There are some similarities between our GIA and the Australian model, but also ways we differ to meet our individual country needs. The insights from this visit will be helpful to shape the future of the New Zealand GIA partnership, which I have full confidence will continue to be successful in delivering better response outcomes for growers.
我们的GIA和澳大利亚模式之间有一些相似之处,但我们满足各自国家需求的方式也有所不同。这次访问的见解将有助于塑造新西兰GIA伙伴关系的未来,我完全相信,该伙伴关系将继续为种植者提供更好的应对结果。

You can read more about GIA and the operational agreements KVH has been actively involved in on behalf of the kiwifruit and kiwiberry industries on page 15.
您可以在第15页阅读更多关于GIA的信息,以及KVH代表猕猴桃和猕猴桃行业积极参与的运营协议。
Early and proactive involvement in GIA and operational agreement development processes has meant that equitable cost share agreements have been able to be established. Fiscally responsible, and beneficial use of grower levies – that deliver positive and better outcomes for growers – is inherent in our strategy and operations.
及早积极参与GIA和运营协议制定过程意味着能够建立公平的成本分担协议。对种植者征税的财政负责和有益使用——为种植者带来积极和更好的结果——是我们战略和运营中固有的。
This financial year (2023/24) the KVH Board and team of staff have made savings that we are happy to say have left us in a better place than what could have been, without such strong commitment. Overall, KVH was able to save $280k on expenditure last year through careful financial management, while ensuring we still provided a high level of biosecurity support to the kiwifruit industry.
本财政年度(2023/24),KVH董事会和员工团队节省了资金,我们很高兴地说,如果没有如此坚定的承诺,这些资金使我们处于一个比本可以更好的地方。总体而言,通过谨慎的财务管理,KVH去年能够节省28万美元的支出,同时确保我们仍然为猕猴桃产业提供高水平的生物安全支持。
