The other 10% of the fruit goes in container vessels – these tend to go to our new and developing markets. Every year at the beginning of our New Zealand season (mid to late April) we do an air freight to the main markets to provide samples for trade fairs.

| What is ZESPRI's position on Genetic Engineering? |
| |
| ZESPRI International Ltd’s position on genetic engineering is as follows:
ZESPRI will not fund research, market or have in its inventory any genetically modified kiwifruit.
ZESPRI supports Research and Development as a key component of the New Zealand kiwifruit industry’s future success but chooses not to pursue genetically modified kiwifruit as a new fruit product.
Kiwifruit are purchased and consumed because they are a healthy, enjoyable food. The image of New Zealand as ‘clean, green’ and therefore ‘safe’ is considered to be a benefit to kiwifruit sales particularly in Europe, and also in Japan.
It is ZESPRI’s view that consumer opinion and perceptions will limit the acceptability of genetic modification technology in the foreseeable future.
