Stop Press - SunGold supply cap closure

​Zespri has advised the SunGold conventional (GA1CK) supply cap will close at midnight Thursday 21 March 2019.

After the cap has closed there is a new 6 million tray industry modified colour criteria cap of 111.1 green fractile.

If any fruit cleared under the current colour criteria 112.9 is submitted post Thursday midnight kiwistart rates will not be paid. This includes fruit packed and NIR recovered fruit. Our Client Relationship Managers and harvest schedulers will closely monitor this so all fruit gets packed on time.

To the Statistics (midnight last night):

Cap 1 first past the post target volume 8,000,000 trays

Happy and safe harvesting
