The New Zealand and Chinese authorities, with the assistance of the New Zealand apple industry, reached an agreement at the end of February 2014 allowing the resumption of New Zealand apple exports to China. At this stage it is too early to estimate the volumes that will be exported to China this year; however we expect that given that our export season was already underway by the time that the agreement was reached, volumes will most likely be down this year, explains Alan Pollard, CEO Pipfruit
