Single point of Entry or SPE, three letters that create so much discussion, divide opinions and have provoked heated debate and conversation for so long.
For better or for worse the New Zealand Kiwifruit Industry is extremely unique as the only exporting industry in all of New Zealand that is regulated by the government so that there must be only one exporter of Kiwifruit around the world with the exception of Australia.
Everyone that I have spoken to has an opinion, they all have views on how the SPE should operate, how ZESPRI should operate and whether the SPE should be deregulated or not.
