Zespri’s final charter shipment of the 2025 New Zealand kiwifruit season has departed the Port of Tauranga bound for Japan.
The ship Whero is carrying more than 1.4 million trays, or more than 5000 tonnes, of Zespri Green kiwifruit and is expected to arrive in Tokyo mid-November, before sailing on to Kobe.
This will be Zespri’s 60th charter vessel of the season, used to ship New Zealand-grown Zespri Green, SunGold and RubyRed kiwifruit to more than 50 markets. Its final container shipments of kiwifruit will also depart New Zealand in the coming weeks. This season, Zespri has had a significant increase in container usage, with 24,000 containers, up from 20,500 in 2024.
Zespri 2025年新西兰猕猴桃季的最后一批包机已从陶朗加港出发，前往日本。
Whero号载有140多万托盘，即5000多吨Zespri Green猕猴桃，预计将于11月中旬抵达东京，然后驶向神户。
这将是Zespri本季的第60艘包机，用于将新西兰种植的Zespri Green、SunGold和RubyRed猕猴桃运往50多个市场。其最后一批猕猴桃集装箱也将在未来几周内离开新西兰。本季，Zespri的集装箱使用量大幅增加，从2024年的20500个集装箱增加到24000个集装箱。

CEO Jason Te Brake said this year’s crop of around 215 million trays, or more than 770,000 tonnes, has been the largest yet, and it’s been a huge industry-wide effort to deliver record volumes to customers and consumers around the world.
“Our markets have been performing well, with record sales weeks in Europe, strong sales in the US and also in China throughout September thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
首席执行官Jason Te Brake表示，今年的托盘产量约为2.15亿个，即超过77万吨，是迄今为止最大的一次，这是全行业为向全球客户和消费者提供创纪录数量所做的巨大努力。
“我们的市场表现良好，由于中秋节，欧洲的销售周数创下历史新高，美国和中国整个9月的销售表现强劲。

“Even with a significant increase in volume, from more than 195 million trays last season to 215 million this year, our markets have sold through extremely well. This sets us up for a smooth transition to our Northern Hemisphere-grown fruit which plays a critical role in ensuring we have year-round supply.”
As Zespri looks to close out the season with the final charter on its way to Japan, the focus is shifting to planning for 2026 which involves Zespri, post-harvest and NZKGI, Te Brake said.
“即使产量大幅增加，从上个季度的1.95亿托盘增加到今年的2.15亿托盘，我们的市场销售情况也非常好。这使我们能够顺利过渡到北半球种植的水果，这对确保我们全年供应至关重要。”
Te Brake表示，随着Zespri希望在前往日本的最后一份包机上结束这个季节，重点将转移到2026年的规划上，其中包括Zespri、收获后和NZKGI。
