7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: back with us. Jason Morning, Martling, Mike, how are you

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: very well? You've got a vibe on the tariffs and

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: the US yet or no?

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're just living with it obviously since

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: April it's come into effect. We're pretty committed to North

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: America as a long term market for US, so we're

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: essentially looking through that into the long term. I think

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: there's got opportunity there to continue growing, and we're actually

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: going to sell more fruit in the US market this

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: year than what we expected we would good.

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: What's your supply demand scenario? Seems to me that you

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: can grow everything you can grow and still sell more.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got pretty strong demand around the world.

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Consumers continue to want health and nutrition, and our product

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: has got a lot of that packed inside it. We've

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: built a strong brand, and we've also got a good

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: supply chain network, so we're continuing to build demand each

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: single season and make sure that we continue to supply

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: that demand with our fruit.

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: What's gone wrong with organic green? I mean, is it

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: just the organic bit? Is it expense it taste organics?

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: No, organics still pretty strong at the end of the day,

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: they're still pretty strong returns through organic green growers. It's

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: just that we've we've had some record levels at a

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: different level before, but we've still got good returns for

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: organic green.

33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Tell you what we were having some green at the

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: hell you shouldn't I mean the gold. You'll hate me

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: saying this, but the gold's sugar if you want the

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: real gold. So to speakers in the green, isn't it

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: green is just packed with vitamins. If you want something

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: that's really good for you, green, you can't go wrong,

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Am I right?

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Yes? So, I mean green absolutely great for your digestive

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: system and your health benefits there packed with fiber. We've

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: actually just got a health claim signed off by the

43
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: European Mission this week, which is the first time a

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: fresh fruit has ever had a health claim in the

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: European Commission. And that's for our green fruit around digestive health.

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: So they're really positive there.

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: And what I was, I'm in the supermarket. I didn't

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: realize how cheap they are. I bought a punnet there's

49
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: maybe ten eleven in there, and it was, I, I know,

50
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: three four or five bucks something like that. I mean

51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: that's good value, isn't it apart from anything else?

52
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean good value and for looking after your

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: family and health. So yeah, no, I mean that's that's

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: good to have that available for Kiwi consumers.

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Do you are you butter and dairy? Do you sell

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: different prices here than over there?

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: So we'll have different prices by different markets depending on

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: on where the value sits and also by volume and

59
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: just local economics. So yeah, it does vary by market.

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Interesting insiders always. Thanks Jason, and congratulations on all your success.
