The Tauranga-based marketing co-operative said there could be as many as 2-2500 hectares planted in the variety, which has enjoyed worldwide success since it was launched on the market in 2010.
总部位于陶朗加的营销合作社表示,该品种的种植面积可能多达2500公顷,自2010年上市以来,该品种在全球范围内取得了成功。

The figure is a large increase on a previous estimate two years ago of about 100ha. In New Zealand there are 6500 hectares of SunGold, with a further 1100ha licensed overseas, which is sold at a premium to most other varieties.
这一数字比两年前估计的约100公顷大幅增加。在新西兰,有6500公顷的SunGold,还有1100公顷的许可证在海外,以高于其他大多数品种的价格出售。

Sales of SunGold represent about half of Zespri's total revenue of $2.94 billion a year.SunGold的销售额约占Zespri年总收入29.4亿美元的一半。

Zespri chief grower and alliances officer Dave Courtney said while sales of the fruit had not yet affected the co-op because its market share in China was still growing, it wanted to protect its intellectual property. China buys more than $500 million kiwifruit a year from Zespri and is its biggest market.
Zespri首席种植者和联盟官戴夫·考特尼(Dave Courtney)表示,虽然这种水果的销售尚未影响到该合作社,因为它在中国的市场份额仍在增长,但它希望保护自己的知识产权。中国每年从Zespri购买超过5亿美元的猕猴桃,是其最大的市场。

"We're aware that the variety has been grown by smaller household growers but what we're noticing is there are a couple of bigger, more commercial players picking it up which has made us step in.
“我们知道,这种黄心猕猴桃品种是由较小的家庭种植者种植的,但我们注意到,有几个更大、更多的商业参与者正在种植,这让我们介入其中。

"Right now it's not impacting on us unless we could have sold that licence but we're not selling licences offshore anyway. The potential cost if left to grow is that it would displace New Zealand fruit from the shelf, but we're a long way off that," Courtney said.
考特尼说:“目前,除非我们本可以出售该许可证,否则它不会对我们造成影响,但无论如何,我们不会在海外出售许可证。如果让它继续种植,潜在的成本是它将取代新西兰水果的货架,但我们离那还有很长的路要走。”。

Zespri owns plant rights to the new SunGold for at least another 18 years, so only growers contracted to the co-operative can plant it.
佳沛公司拥有新阳光金果至少18年的种植权,因此只有与合作社签约的种植者才能种植。

The illegal plantings are not the first affecting Zespri in China. In the early 2000s, the gold variety Hort16A was planted over about 1000ha, but did not appear significantly in stores.
在中国,非法种植并不是第一次影响Zespri。在21世纪初,黄金品种Hort16A种植面积超过1000公顷,但在商店中没有出现。
