位于南半球的新西兰已逐渐成为苹果出口大国。该国人口只有350万。据新官方统计,1994～1995年度(统计为每年6月底),新西兰全国出口苹果总值(FOB)达4.82亿新元(近3亿美元),比上年同期增长54％。苹果出口值超过猕猴桃(3.2亿新元,约合2亿美元),占所有新鲜水果出口总值(8.68亿新元,约合5亿美元)的60％左右。新西兰同期出口园艺产品(含蔬菜、花卉等)总值为14.36亿新元(约合8.4亿美元),比上年增长15％。苹果已成为该国园艺出口的首位产品,猕猴桃降为第二位。 1995年新西兰向欧洲首次出口套袋苹果,品种为富士,果品生产地点在该国苹果丰产区霍克湾中部。新西兰一果业公司汲取日本人为苹果套袋的经验,于二年前开始试验,1995年该公司套袋20万个。果袋由日本进口,双层,外层袋遮光,内层袋可令部分光谱的光线穿透。果实套袋于12月初进行,果实在袋内有3个月处于黑暗之中。去袋时,整个果面呈乳白色。据新西兰试验,去袋时间影响果面色泽。果袋外层在套后90天左右去 New Zealand, located in the southern hemisphere, has gradually become an apple exporter. The country’s population is only 3.5 million. According to new official statistics, in the period of 1994-1995 (counted as the end of June each year), New Zealand’s national export value of apples amounted to 482 million Singapore dollars (nearly 300 million U.S. dollars), an increase of 54% over the same period of last year. Apple exports exceeded kiwifruit (320 million Singapore dollars, or about 200 million U.S. dollars), accounting for about 60% of the total value of all fresh fruit exports (8.68 billion Singapore dollars, or about 500 million U.S. dollars). New Zealand’s exports of gardening products (including vegetables, flowers, etc.) over the same period amounted to S $ 1.436 billion (about 840 million U.S. dollars), up 15% over the previous year. Apple has become the country’s first export of horticultural products, kiwi dropped to second place. In 1995, New Zealand exported its first bagged apple to Europe for the first time, with a variety of Fuji, and its fruit production was in the middle of the Hawke’s Bay, an apple-growing area in the country. A Kiwi fruit company, drawing on the Japanese experience of bagging Apple, began testing two years ago, in 1995 the company bagged 200,000. Fruit bags imported from Japan, double, outer bag shading, the inner bag can make part of the spectrum of light penetration. Fruit bagging was carried out in early December and the fruit was in darkness for 3 months in the bag. To the bag, the whole fruit was milky white. According to the New Zealand test, bagging time affects the color of the fruit surface. Fruit bag in the outer layer after about 90 days to go
