In 1985, Zespri opened a hub in our country, but this will end in 2028. Then the contract with the Belgium New Fruit Wharf in Zeebrugge expires. The New Zealand kiwi trader chooses three central hubs in Italy, the Netherlands and Spain for its European supply chain. Zespri’s departure is a huge loss for Zeebrugge. The permanent employees will receive an offer to continue working elsewhere within the company. During the peak season, workers process 8 million kiwis every week.
