  Speaker 4: Be fat it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get a few biceps for that. So

  Speaker 2: basically what the campaign is is that trying to get
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: people around the world to swap out one unhealthy food
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: and swap in a healthy food in its replacement, hopefully
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a kiwi fruit.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And it was this campaign was
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: launched in Japan when he finally got there, by our
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Prime Minister Chrystopher Luxeon along with Cespury. The interesting fact
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: out of this story, Heather, what I found that interesting? Anyhow,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: As I said, they launched it in Japan, which has
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: some of the lowest consumption of fresh fruit globally, And
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I thought Japan, and I've been there once and loved
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: their food. It seemed very very healthy to me. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I didn't note a lack of fresh fruit and veggies.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So there you go. I mean, the sky's the limits
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: for kiwi fruit and our apples and our horticultural products
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: in Japan. And I think Todd McLay, who I chatted
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the today on the country and Prime Minister Luxe and
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: are doing a good job, you know, rustling up some
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: business for end Zena and go over there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good stuff. Now what are we expecting from the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: GDT auction?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Wow, mine's greater than mine, namely Mike McIntire, the guy
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: us a charred and he says, look, the futures markets.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: This is the second GDT auction of the new season.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: By the way, the futures market is disppointing for a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: little a little more than a one percent fall in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the powders, closer to five percent in the fats, But
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I mean calling for that all year, it hasn't. In fact,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: one of those fat categories AMS has been up twenty
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: auctions in a row. So Mike reckon, sooner or later,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: they're going to be right and it will come off
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: its lofty highs. It's interesting that we're heading into the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: last low auction volumes before moving into the peak, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: this is the Northern Hemisphere peak, but offshore inventory outside
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of China, where they seem to be making plenty of
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: it at the moment, remains fairly tight. So Mike's hoping
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that maybe that's futures markets are wrong as they have
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: been in recent weeks, and we get yet another positive
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Globaldiry trade auction tonight.
