Zespri is optimistic for 2025 after what it says has been an encouraging year for growers. 

Its last charter vessel for the season has left for Japan, expecting to arrive early next month with just over 4,500 tonnes of fruit. 

The company says Europe has been performing really well, while China has seen a 40% increase in volume. 

CEO Jason Te Brake told Mike Hosking they're expecting to have more fruit to sell in 2025. 

He says markets are finishing really strongly, which usually flows into a good start of next year.
