Turners and Growers Kicks Them In The B**ls
Repelling advertisers yesterday erected a large billboard expressing Turners and Growers opinion on the Kiwifruit Export Regulations Act of 1999.
Turners and Growers, one of New Zealand’s largest produce exporters is heading a campaign to overturn the monopoly that Zepri NZ has for the export of Kiwifruit. T&G wants the ability to market and sell its own kiwifruit varieties overseas, something that is forbidden under the current act.
Turners & Growers CEO, Jeff Wesley says that the regulatory regime established in 1999 was designed for an industry that only had one commodity to sell. “The Kiwifruit export Regulations 1999 simply haven’t kept up with the growth of new varieties and have become a handbrake on innovation and export earnings.â€
In 1959 Turners & Growers coined the name ‘Kiwifruit’ as it worked to establish the export market for NZ-grown Chinese Gooseberries in the United States. Turners & Growers remains at the forefront of the kiwifruit industry with several new varieties that it has developed and tested for production and export from New Zealand. The company holds the global Intellectual Property Rights to ENZAGold(TM), ENZARed(TM) and the regional rights to Summerkiwi(TM).

As for me it does not mean who distributes kiwi fruits, because i love them and can’t imagine even one day without them!
It is difficult to imagine that thpose people have achieved such success just trading kiwi fruits! This experience is truly cognitive – everything genious is simle.
I like kiwi fruits but I have alergy because of them and can’t eat them. What a pity:(((
It sounds like this act has got to go. When one company has a monopoly on any industry, there are sure to be problems. The government needs to rethink this act to ensure fair competition among all businesses. With new varieties of kiwi fruit available now, it just emphasizes how one company should not have full control of that niche.
