After a great turnout for the first round in September last year, the team is excited to bring Shed Talks back to the regions.

Join us over a cup of tea and a scone at a local shed near you. The sessions will follow the same format as last year, where you will be able to rotate around different stations and interact with Zespri staff. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about, discuss, and give feedback on topical issues and projects impacting industry. We want to hear what you think, capture your thoughts and ideas, and share what we’re working on.

We’re planning to have stations covering the below:

Share alignment
The Zespri Board has been considering a number of initiatives to try and lift grower shareholding of Zespri. We’re in the early stages of this work, so it’s a good opportunity to have your say.

Industry engagement
We have some initiatives to share about how we can continue to support you, and we’d love your feedback.

Fruit quality transparency
We're planning changes to the industry portal to report on fruit quality through the supply chain, as part of the Quality Action Plan (see page 3), and we'll have some prototypes to share with you.

The Listening Post
Your chance to sit down with senior Zespri people and talk about what matters to you.
