Yeah mate, I've been out in the kiwifruit orchards since 5am, exhausted. Another record, but wages still crap. Typical.

Riley Scott2026-06-22T22:09:49.000Z

nah, fair point. They never share the profits down the chain.

Another record harvest... bet the corporates are laughing all the way to the bank while the growers get squeezed. Same old story.

Luca Reid2026-06-22T22:05:49.000Z

out of here with that negativity. Hard workers are making a living. Be happy for them.

Sam North2026-06-22T22:16:49.000Z

stuffed. I'm out there doing the work while you whinge on your phone.

More fruit, more trucks on the road. Hope the infrastructure can keep up. Our roads are already stuffed.

Who cares? We're in a cost of living crisis and they're celebrating fruit. Priorities, much?

Great news for our region! Kiwifruit puts food on the table for my whānau. Good on the growers for smashing it 💪

River Cole2026-06-22T23:26:49.000Z

that you think this makes a difference. Meanwhile rent goes up again.

225 million trays? That's insane. Hope the Chinese market keeps buying, otherwise we'll be drowning in kiwifruit smoothies.

Easy for you lot to comment from your couches. Try grafting 70 hours a week for minimum wage. Record harvest my arse.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-22T23:41:49.000Z

lol imagine thinking having more fruit is gonna fix our broken economy. Keep dreaming.

Blake Turner2026-06-23T00:00:49.000Z

Truth. I'm already sick of seeing kiwifruit ads everywhere. Enough already.
