Bringing it all back home - Zespri shares kiwifruit pointers with Chinese growers. This video was first published in 2018.
Zespri's proposed deal to buy and market counterfeit golden kiwifruit grown in China has been met with trepidation within the industry, but a growers group says it might “stop the flow” of illicit fruit.

The kiwifruit giant has signed the beginnings of a commercial deal with a state-owned Chinese firm, in a bid to capture 4000ha of unlicensed SunGold kiwifruit being grown in China that threatens the company’s stake in the market.
新西兰佳沛公司已与四川国有资产管理公司签署了一项商业协议，以收购在中国种植的4000公顷未经许可的阳光金果G3猕猴桃，这些产出的水果可能影响到佳沛现有的市场份额。
The deal would have Zespri buy and market the counterfeit fruit, and China’s government would help the company enforce its rights over SunGold, or G3 – an arrangement touted as a “win-win”.
这笔交易将让Zespri购买并销售四川本地种植的G3猕猴桃，中国地方政府将帮助该公司行使对SunGold，又称G3猕猴桃的权利——这一安排被吹捧为“双赢”。

New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Incorporated (NZKGI) said the trial of a commercial arrangement with the Chinese growers was crucial to gain the Chinese government’s support in enforcing Zespri's plant variety rights.
新西兰猕猴桃种植者股份有限公司（NZKGI）表示，与中国种植者进行的商业协议试验对于获得中国政府在执行Zespri植物品种权方面的支持至关重要。

“Growers are, generally speaking, of the view that we need to do what we can to stop the flow [of counterfeit fruit], and if that means having this small scale trial with China to see how that might work ... we need to test that,” NZKGI chief executive Nikki Johnson said.
种植者联盟公司首席执行官尼基·约翰逊（Nikki Johnson）说：“一般而言，种植者认为，我们需要尽我们所能阻止（假冒水果）的流通，如果这意味着要在中国进行这项小规模试验，看看这可能会如何……我们需要对此进行测试。”。

NZKGI was yet to hear directly from growers about the project, and would do so at a meeting this week, Johnson said.
约翰逊说，种植者联盟公司尚未直接听取新西兰猕猴桃种植者关于该项目的意见，并将在本周的一次会议上这样做。

She had heard some concern that Zespri would be handing information and technology for SunGold production over to Chinese firms, but said “whether that's a great risk in China than it is in other markets, I'm just not sure”.
她听到有人担心Zespri会将阳光金果G3猕猴桃生产的信息和种植技术传授给中国公司，但她表示，“这是一个巨大的风险，我真的不确定。”

“I don't think they're [Zespri] about to open the door and hand over everything in year one.”
“我认为zespri佳沛不会在第一年打开大门，交出一切。”

Kiwifruit grower and Tauranga-based lawyer Marcus Wilkins said growers should be demanding more advice about Zespri’s China project, and a broader investigation was needed.
猕猴桃种植者和陶朗加区律师马库斯·威尔金斯（Marcus Wilkins）说，种植者应该要求更多关于Zespri中国金奇异果试种项目的建议，需要更广泛的调查。

Some 4000ha of unlicensed SunGold kiwifruit is being grown in China, after the variety was stolen from Zespri. It’s broadly expected the illicit planting of SunGold will only expand.
中国现在种植了约4000公顷未经许可的阳光猕猴桃G3猕猴桃品种，此前该品种从Zespri流出。人们普遍预计，非法种植面积将进一步扩大。

“There should be a thorough, independent, investigation into how this has arisen and whether the actions that are proposed are actually going to protect the taxpayers’ investment in this variety.”
“应该进行彻底、独立的调查，以了解这种情况是如何发生的，以及拟议的行动是否真的会保护纳税人在这一品种上的投资。”

He said there may be “rationale” to attempting to buy the counterfeit fruit, however Zespri should be taking more steps to enforce intellectual property rights in China’s courts.
他说，佳沛管理层试图购买假冒水果可能有“理由”，但Zespri公司应采取更多措施在中国法院强制执行知识产权。

“At the moment it's all just saying, 'Well this is what we're doing, aren't we clever’ … Where's the second opinion? There is never a second opinion in this industry.”
目前，一切都只是在说，‘好吧，这就是我们正在做的，我们聪明吗？’…第二种意见在哪里？这个行业从来没有第二种观点。”

Wilkins said Zespri had previously run into trouble when illicit plantings of Hort16A, another gold variety, appeared in China in the early 2000s.
“History teaches that when you deal with totalitarian states, you need to be careful.”
威尔金斯说，当2000年代初另一种黄金品种Hort16A在中国出现非法种植时，Zespri曾遇到过麻烦。
“历史告诉我们，当你与极权国家打交道时，你需要小心。”

Seeka chief executive Michael Franks said he doubted Zespri would have success enforcing its plant variety rights in China.
Seeka（新西兰一家水果采后分装公司）首席执行官迈克尔·弗兰克斯（Michael Franks）表示，他怀疑Zespri能否在中国成功实施其植物品种权。

Michael Franks, chief executive of fruit grower and supplier Seeka, said Zespri had not yet made clear its plan, and it would struggle to enforce its plant variety rights (PVR) in China.
水果种植者和供应商Seeka的首席执行官迈克尔·弗兰克斯（Michael Franks）表示，Zespri尚未明确其计划，它将努力在中国强制执行其植物品种权（PVR）。

“The land that the G3 is grafted onto is owned by the provincial governments ... What's the motivation for them to give PVR protection when they've probably facilitated its expansion?” Franks said.
“G3被移植到的土地归省政府所有……当他们可能已经促进了PVR的扩张时，他们提供PVR保护的动机是什么？”弗兰克斯说。

Franks said the success of SunGold relied on its post-harvest intellectual property, including the colour and temperature management.
Franks说阳光金果的成功依赖于其收获后的专有技术，包括颜色和温度、储存方面的管理。

“There might be an angle for Zespri in that, but honestly, we don't know much about it … I just don't truly think that's possible.
“佳沛的管理层可能从这个角度出发，但老实说，我不认为这是可能的抑制仿冒品。

“The [counterfeit] fruit's going to look like Zespri, it's going to be in a box that's remarkably like Zespri, and so, it's not ideal and it will be sold at a fraction [of the cost].”
“这些（假冒）水果看起来像佳沛金果，装在一个非常像佳沛公司的盒子里，但是，这些仿品的质量却不怎么样，它将以比佳沛成本还低价格出售。”

He said Seeka had its own estimates of the counterfeit fruit’s potential damage to New Zealand growers’ returns, and it was “not a complete train wreck”.
他说，Seeka对假冒水果对新西兰种植者的回报可能造成的损害有自己的估计，而且“这不是一次彻底的火车失事”。
